Thanks. What about your Lung issues with radiation? Curious, I have an underlying lung issue and wonder what you problems with radiation were.
Thanks!

I had kadcyla due to PCR. Had radiation pneumonitis after round 8, delayed two cycles and went for two additional treatments. Then diagnosed with organizing pneumonia. Few months later, had COVID and diagnosed with organizing pneumonia. My oncologist stopped kadcyla (short 4). One of side effects of kadcyla, it causes lung inflammation for people that had radiation.
Keep in mind, I entered a clinical trial for vaccine to prevent recurrence. So not sure if it’s the combination of these treatments is causing my lungs to get inflammation when I get sick.
