Journal entry by Jane Hesketh —
As promised, here is my update. The CT Scan shows a moderate decrease in the size of the tumor! The plan going forward was to start immunotherapy every two weeks for one year. I was all set for that, but not for what was to come. I developed radiation pneumonitis which is an inflammation of the lung due to my 35 radiation treatments. This causes me to cough and make it difficult to take a deep breath. It will take some time for this to heal so I cannot move forward with immunotherapy until this is all gone. Hopefully, with prayers and good care, it will heal.
