Unwell from chemo
This was posted on another blog from @Jenv who is hospital after her 1st chemo and was experiencing breathlessness. Thought Jenv could do with some bc sister support at what must be a scary time. ...

Home from hospital after spending weekend having oxygen therapy, IV steroids to help breathing and IV pushed lasex to remove fluid.
Apparently my hit of chemo caused a small tear or leak into left lung which is affecting lympatic system in lung making breathing difficult....after liasing with my oncologist doctors decided to send me home where upon my oncologist will ring me in regards to next course of action....joy, so still waiting and now back home with no oxygen and still breathing issues and i could have heart failure at any minute...could it get any better.....but through it all, hasn't got me down...spend my time doing lots of knitting and crosswords...a dear friend comes in once a week to clean my house, hubby does what he can and i always have girlfriend or hubby if i have to go into town as well as people making food..people really rally if u let them...anyway hopefully get sorted soon.
