Update to lung infection

Hi all, not sure I anyone remembers my post last week about feeling tired and then being diagnosed with lung infection. I got antibiotics for five days, and at the end of them I didn’t feel any better. I actually had to cancel one of my first radiation appointments (just setup) bc I couldn’t make it out. By Sunday my breathing got really bad so we called ambulance to go the hospital. They gave me lots of oxygen and fluids and whatever meds are in my inhaler and monitored me over night.

Now they’re thinking it is a side effect from my immunotherapy, that my immune system is attacking my lungs. So I got a new set of antibiotics in case it is lung infection, and prednisone for three weeks to lower my immune response I think? I am feeling better than I have in a while two days in. Now I’m thinking that might be what happened with my gastrointestinal system too. Anyway, I’m off immuno and not starting radiation til this all clears up. It was pretty scary though.

Anyway one else have adverse reactions form immuno? My oncologist says it is very rare, I haven’t heard anyone say much about it.
