Radiation along with chemo and immunotherapy for SCLC. Are toxicity risks too high?

Hi, my father had been dx with SCLC in January and underwent the cycles of carboplatin+ etoposide + tecentriq (immunotherapy) with fairly good response. Now his onco team are planning to do radiation (IGRT) along with carbo+ etoposide.

They are saying adding tecentriq to the regime will be too toxic. Has anyone undergone/going through chemo+immunotherapy+ radiation simultaneously ? Prompt response would be of great help

This has only recently been approved from a clinical trial so it’s strong possibility no one here has. Do check with the Addario people direct. They may have info.
