Anyone else get pneumonia during active treatment?

Diagnosed Patient or Survivor Support

I'm on Kadcyla right now and going to have my next infusion on Tuesday. Kiddos were sick over the weekend which of course was passed on to me. Went to the ER Tuesday because I had a fever (and my med onc said to go). Turns out I have pneumonia and I'm on antibiotics now.

Also read my chart notes and x-ray findings found pneumonia left lower lobe. Same side as I had my radiation 🫠

Anyway, wondering if anyone else had pneumonia during active treatment and did it resolved after taking your antibiotics and with time? I'm getting a follow up x-ray in April. On top of everything we have to deal with getting 'normal' sick just effing sucks. I feel my immune system isn't the same anymore and it just takes me so much longer to recover.
