Hi all,
Hope the new year has started well for you. A quick update from me after completing my radiotherapy end of November. I had my usual 2 monthly CT scan for my immunotherapy trial on 29th Dec. I wasn't expecting there to be much of a change on the tumours as it's still early days and radiotherapy is still doing its thing.
The doctor told me there was shrinkage which I was very happy to hear but didn't elaborate and then proceeded to tell me that the CT had picked up inflammation in the tissue of my lung.
He asked if I was experiencing any new symptoms. I told him I have been getting a little more breathless but I put this down to doing very little exercise during my recovery period. I went out for a walk with my husband and had to return home after only 10 minutes. I usually walk to work every morning which takes 30 minutes.
They said they are going to treat it as Grade 1 Pneumonitis with careful monitoring every few days and in the meantime start on antibiotics.
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else on here? I've been reading up a little about it and hoping as they've identified it early that the antibiotics will do the trick as he warned me that immunotherapy will stop if it goes to Grade 2.
Talk about 1 step forward 2 steps back!! Being very lazy, copied & pasted from update on Lung forum
Thanks for that Norberry! x
Nearly choked on my wine there 
I couldn’t run for a bus! I did do a 45 minute walk today which was tough but felt good to do too. Apparently it’s important to keep active as you can get problems with leg muscles! Can’t afford to lose anymore muscle.x
