I read similar issues in another group. The user confirmed that he bounced back after five days and fully recovered from lung damage. Also that's rare side effects.

Pulmonary fibrosis has not been described in patients using Xofigo.

accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatf...

There are many causes to have pulmonary fibrosis. Amiodarone a drug to treat AF could cause pulmonary fibrosis, also smoking. causes pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

There is an hereditary or idiopathic form of pulmonary fibrosis et. etc...

Consult with a pulmonary medicine specialist and perhaps they could find a cause.
