@andycapp, Mixed feelings are to be expected. These things are never all that straight forward. But we can take one day at a time, and for now, focus on the good that's in front of you. There will be plenty of time for the additional complications later.
I'm hoping that your breathing gets better too.

@lls8000 I notified my team about concerns of possible pneumonitis (shortness of breath and persistent dry cough). They sent me to oncology critical care and CT scan confirmed pneumonitis. So. I’m now on prednisone (40mg per day for 2 weeks then tapering).
I’m on 3rd day and see improvement of breathing but not coughing but it’s early. I’m also taking pearls and delsym for the cough. Fingers crossed.
