lung discomfort

lung discomfort

I have finished 33 whole breast treatments, 1 booster treatment to mu left breast.  I woke up with pain to my right chest & pain to my cavity wall if I took a deep breath.  Testing in emergency room showed no leart problems, although my EKG's kept changing, no pnuemonia (pneumonia), so signs of embolisms, but very high white blood count.  My right chest cavity hurts if I bend over.  Does this sound like radiation pneumonitis?  Other suggestions?  Should I contine final 7 "booster" treatments?


This discussion is related to radiation pneumonitis.

First I would have the tests you evidently had done in the ER reviewed by your Oncologist. He/She would be best to advise you as to the problem and about continuing your booster treatments.    Regards ....
