Pneumonitis
My mother is 69 year old lung cancer patient on immunotherapy of 7 months..
My mother oxygen level went to 70 on resting and goes to 82 to 85 with full breathing exercises at home.. On walking or any activity it falls to 60!
She has no fever.. just cough sometimes!
So she is admitted in hospital and they are saying she has Immunotherapy Induced Pneumonitis! Which has progressed in the last scan.. So doctor stopped Immunotherapy at once..
My question is that can this be cured? And is it progressive even after the therapy is stopped? Please reply 🙏
