I went to a GP today. He thinks I have a virus as I did have a high temp, which I hadn't even noticed. I've been really short of breath today. Last night when the cold air hit I had a lot of trouble catching my breath. I rugged myself up and stayed to my room and warm air. It did make me panic a bit which probably made it worse.
The doc also gave me ventalin to help me breath if I need but I took it this arvo and ended up in a huge coughing fit.
I have been having a struggle this week keeping the 'I'm going to die' thoughts away, so you are right it may be anxiety too. The doc mentioned that a cough could indicate the cancer has spread which freaked me out and not helping the thoughts.
My BC nurse is coming over for a chat tomorrow and I see my onc next week, she is visiting me at chemo.
The fun never stops does it ;)
