Hi Desi,  Seen lung specialist yesterday regarding the pneumonitis.  I had a spirometry test and the dr seemed pleased with the results.  My o2 /co2 transfer which occurs within your lungs is at 66%. Not the best result as he would have liked to have seen it at around 80-85%. This episode will apparently leave some scaring which means that mucos will accumulate and cause more coughing when infected.  Otherwise everything else is excellent.  Next appt is with my onc before zometa treatment to check bloods and again a fortnight later.  Should get results from ct and bone scan then.  Where do you live?  Lismore is on the north coast of NSW,  I live on the mid north coast in a sleepy little village called Stuarts Point.  I travel to Coffs Harbour for treatment/onc appointments which is about 100 klm north from where I live. A lot of roadworks happening at the moment which makes travelling tiresome. Catch you soon Sue:-)
