The recovery time from lung radiation can vary, but it typically takes several weeks to a few months for acute side effects to improve. However, the healing process for lung tissue damage can take several months to years. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
Up to 10-15 years.
Usually, it will take a few weeks but it can last longer if you have chemotherapy or another comorbidity such as COPD, diabetes, or heart problems.
