judysunlakes Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hi, I haven't posted anything for several months. I have NSC lung cancer, Stage IV. Finished 3 months of chemo-starting to feel human again. Noticed the last month blood in mucous and this morning it is hurting to take a breath. I haven't had any other symptoms throughout this diag. (Jan 07) no cough, just tiredness. Any thoughts on this- doesn't sound good to me. Thanks, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Welcome. As with all things cancer, all "new" issues with the body---especially of the sort you are describing should be brought to the attention of your oncologist immediately. Please do so and keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 yeah and so far we haven't had much in the way of good breaks. Hoping that with 2nd line treatment + continued avastin, we can get a meaningful response. Thankfully, he is in overall good shape right now.

Ry Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Judy- Have you checked for a fever? It could be pneumonia or an infection of some kind. Get to the doctor before it gets any worse. You can go to your family doctor to rule out pneumonia if it takes awhile to get in to your oncologist. Welcome to the board, and let us know what the doc says.

ernrol Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Judy, With any symptoms you should contact you doctor just to be on the safe side. If you could fill out your profile it would help us know more about your treatment. Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish2418 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Welcome, Judy. I'd definitely call the doc. Let us know how it turns out. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
