Jennedy Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi everyone, The heading may be a bit of a stretch. I went to the Onc today. Explained about my cough, SOB, lack of energy. (He did say I need to call in the future.....um I did 10 days ago). He sent me for CT scan. I have radiation pneumonitis which explains the cough etc. He prescribed Prednisone as well as an antibiotics. (Radiologist saw signs of a slight infection). So at least I know what's going on and can get started treating it. I'm also apparently low on everything - BP (not new), iron, calcium and protein. The protein surprised me since I drink a protein shake every morning as well as eat meat and dairy. So now its Ensure and Caltrate for me. Thanks for being there for my earlier rant. You were right @Rower Michelle. Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
