Anyone had Concurrent Radiation and Chemo Therapies?

@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.

@andycapp kudos to you for catching it early - I hope the meds help you feel better soon! The last time I had pneumonia going up to the 160mcg Breyna inhaler (rather than the 80mcg) helped the most.
