Jennedy Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 7 weeks ago I was told I have radiation pneumonitis. I've been on Prednisone since then. Stopped taking Tagrisso until the pneumonitis is under control. Thursday, I had a CTscan. The inflammation is improving so I am starting to taper the Prednisone....again. Tumor has decreased about 20%, so no progression since I've been off the Tag. I was able to walk 6 miles with my group. I checked my Pulse Ox twice during the walk. It was 97 on level ground and 93 after going up a hill. Definite improvement! I go back to work (remotely) tomorrow after being off 6 wks. Back to the oncologist 11/13. Hoping things continue to improve. Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
