  1. Cathy, the shortness of breath may be caused by radiation pneumonitis. This usually begins 2 to 6 months after radiation treatments begin. A lung ct scan will easily show if lung damage has occurred from the radiation treatments. I believe predisone is the only drug used for treatment and it can take some time to heal. I have had radiation pneumonitis for about 8 months, and found that doctors don't like to really like to talk about some of these side effects. My best information was obtained from this forum, other internet sites and emedicine.com. Good luck and God bless.
