has anyone had similar experience?

I am post rads over year, almost two. am on chemo now

started out with plueral pain, turned out to be caused by pneumonia. But when I was In ER the CT scan said the pneumonia was compartmentalized . therefore they had to put me on TB isolation. nevermind I had no symtoms. I had to get bronch to get sample to prove it was just pneumonia. I was a lovely break. but if this is going to happen every time

and lovely I now get to add pulmologist to my docs

    Do your docs see an association of the pneumonia with the chemo? Before you get your chemo, make sure your treatment team and your pulmonologist communicate!
