I had SBRT treatment twice. First was for two tumors (one in each lung) and two years later for a tumor in my right lung. Both times I had pneumonitis 90 days after treatment. Breathing was very difficult with exertion, I wound up sleeping upright to breathe. Prednisone fixed the problem after months on the drug but caused diabetes that had to be managed. Also had adverse affects on my heart. I’m curious why you cannot have immunotherapy now, what caused that? I have a new tumor emerging and was hoping immunotherapy might be an option.
