My mom is on Gemcidabine and radiation therapy for mets to ovary/bladder. Today it was discovered that the chemo is causing pneumonia. Anyone have any experience with this? I wonder what her options are now that she can no longer have chemo. They are going ahead with radiation. Thanks in advance.

Pneumonia could be a chemical reaction with inflammation of the lung rather than an infection. You should be able to get more information about the type of pneumonia that she has, should be able to Google for information if you have more exact terminology and you are not getting a good explanation.
