I have stage3b unrescetable nsclc. Had 33 rounds TT 5 sessions chemo. The radiation treatments caused grade 3 pneumonitis and I was no longer a candidate for immunotherapy because in can cause the side effects of the pneumonitis which is different than pneumonia.
Good luck to you

Gail, sorry to say but it did me in. I was only able to have one dose. I had such a severe autoimmune reaction I was in hospital for 18 days because of liver enzymes sky high, trouble breathing I needed oxygen 24/7, and diagnosed with auto immune myocarditis. Long recovery as well.

Thanks Paula. I have completed 4 treatments to date and am scheduled for nine more. The only side effect I’ve experienced is also fatigue. I had hopes that I would feel more energetic once starting on immunotherapy. I should not complain and I am very thankful for my progress thus far❤️❤️
