Hi all,
I recently had a CT scan following complaints of abdominal pain, change in bowel movement and coughing. Well I read the report which highlights the likelihood of radiation pnemonitis. Has anyone had this and was it treated successfully? I’m obviously going to call on Monday to speak to someone about way forward but just thought I would ask on here. Thank you.
