Lisa,
I agree with Chrisy, we are oncophobic all the time. I also think you should not panic and wait till you feel better. After I got radiation, I developed something like pneumonia and started taking antibiotics and cortison. After some studies done, my doctor told me I had developed lung fibrosis due to radiation. I did panic then, but after some weeks, I started feeling well and started doing my walking again and also swiming. My pneumologist told me I should excersice my lungs and do my daily excersice as walking and keeping active. I feel well and pretty fine now,I would say. I now have a normal life, I would say. Hopefully, there will not be anything serious. Rest a lot and drink many liquids and declare that everything will be fine. God bless you. I send you a big hug.
Paty
