I am now being monitored for an auto immune disorder because ct scan after I finished chemo showed interstitial lung disease. I had Raynaud's before cancer dx.
So now I see a pulmonologist every six months and have pulmonary tests. And she has referred me to a rheumatologist, even though they're not sure what I have. I had many blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren's, scleroderma, and lupus. So far only the lung scarring and inflammation, and has remained stable. I just wonder if the chemo caused it or made it worse if I had some scarring and inflammation before. My first ct scan never really mentioned it. I asked the pulmonologist and she thinks it was there and happen to find it because of all the scans. Especially because I had raynauds prior. Not that it matters, all we can do is monitor and try and manage any symptoms. So far, I don't have breathing issues or any other symptoms other than the raynauds. Hopefully, it will not get worse. Anyone else of issues with auto immune disorders after chemo?
