Hi Chris,
So sorry you are having such a rough time. Chemo can be very tiring and draining on its own without the complications of pneumonia. My taxol/carboplatin was stopped after the 4th treatment as it was not working (the primary tumor was getting larger again after having shrunk considerably during the AC treatments). Had bilateral mastectomies and right axillary clearance on 29th Jan. Will be going back to the oncologist this week to see if I need any more chemo or straight onto radiation. On the positive side the nodes were all negative after surgery where they had previously biopsied (FNA) positive and the primary tumor although increasing in size again was still smaller than it was originally. Take care of yourself and keep well.
