Shortness of Breath/Chemo


Angie

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if shortness of breath can be caused from chemo? My dad had 4 liters of fluid drained on May 16, and until lately, was breathing much better. After his CT scan last week, we found out on Thursday that the four chemo treatments are working - no fluid build up at all! My husband and I met my dad for an evening out at a jazz club last night and noticed that he was quite short of breath when he got to the club, but seemed fine after a few minutes. Just wondering why he was short of breath when scans looked so good?
