Immunotherapy always has the chance of damaging our organs as sometimes it can’t tell what is friend and what is foe.

I had standard radiation (Cyberknife) and chemo concurrently after my upper right lobectomy in 2018. I've been on Tagrisso since 2020 and have never had a recurrence below my neck.

I think you'll be fine with both, just a bit more sleepy than with chemo alone. I wish you all the best.
