Who you gonna call?

Less than one minute read time.

No, I doubt Ghostbusters would be much help. Although possibly more so than the NHS.

Over the past few days, my breathing has been getting steadily worse; I now can't move around the house or climb one flight of stairs without breathlessness.

I've finally faced the fact I need help. Judy's trying to get some.

We may have left it too late.

Scared.

    HUGS, try not to panic, relax and deep breaths if you can.  As soon as help is on its way you will feel better I promise xxx

    Sorry your having to go through this Hilary.  As an asthmatic, never mind a lung cancer sufferer, I know how scary this can be.

    Molly's right, focus on your breathing, try for slow deep breaths.  If you can only manage shallow breathing, it may be the pleural effusion has caused the problem and it may need drained.

    Hope the NHS get into action quickly to put this right.  Let us know how you get on.

    I'll be hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Hi Hilary,

    Its never too late, if you feel in distress go to the A&E dept

    of your Hospital. At least they can check you out , and relieve any anxiety you may have and put your mind at ease.  All the best and good luck.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi Hilary,

    I am breathless too. I have bowel cancer with liver and lung secondaries. The bowel and liver are ok( surgery) but the lungs have not responded to any chemo. I  can't walk across a room or go upstairs and I have a wheelchair for going out. It is very scary at times. I have 2 inhalers Clenil and Ventolin and I have a nebuliser. I just think that trying not to panic and breathing slowly helps when  you feel breathless. You have my sympathy, I know how it feels- hang in there.

    Love and strength Jen xx
