Flyman35 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Tom seemed more breathless than usual today. He really wasn't doing much of anything and I asked him why he was breathing so heavy. He said because he couldn't hardly breathe. He said it sucks, this not being able to breathe, it just really sucks. We still have another month before the PET scan. I am just keeping my everything crossed for good results. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Denise, It could be something as simple as too much humidty. I know that way before I had a cancer dx (in my 30s), I would have trouble breathing when the humidity was high. Although, I do not know the weather situation where you are, a little time spent in an air conditioned area (a/c removes humidity from the air) might give some relief. Also I would not wait to contact his Dr.s if it continues. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianew Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dawn is right and it could be humidity. It could also be dust, pollen, anything in the air. The last time it happened to me I was simply retaining fluid for some reason I still don't know. Tom is right, not being able to breathe does suck. If it isn't better by tomorrow, you might want to call the doctor as there might be something the doctor could give him that would help.

SandraL Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I agree with others. Keep on eye on it and if it doesn't improve, seek some medical advice. There is no need for Tom to have difficulty breathing. Let's hope he is more comfortable soon. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kukla Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi Denise - Hugs and prayers for you and Tom. Glenn is having a lot of trouble with congestion from allergies. I heard that from several patients waiting in the pulmonologis's office the other day. Hope it's just seasonal stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
