Breast cancer treatment and Covid

I had radiotherapy on my chest for breast cancer, over ten years ago. I’ve never experienced any side effects but I was just wondering if anyone knows whether the potential damage to the lungs would make me more vulnerable if I got Covid?

My mum (67) had an interstitial pneumonia 10 years ago that left her with lots of scars on her lungs. She also has a severe asthma.
We were really worried when she contracted Covid, but luckily it really was just like a flu in her case. She completely recovered.
Look after yourself, but don’t panic if you get Covid. I am sure you will be fine. My dad has got a terminal cancer and he recovered from Covid as well!
