Well, I went to the oncologist on Thursday to check all was ok for treatment on Monday. My count had gone down a lot, so he was well pleased. After discussions about my breathlessness, and the way I was feeling he seemed a bit more concerened, and when I told him my GP had suggested a chest x-ray he told me to have it done. My CT scan request from last month seemed to have got lost in the ether (I know it had been requested for after this treatment, but the scan department say they have nothing requested!) so the onc says he will rush it throught to check my chest/lungs area. But I could book my next 3 treatments as my count was looking so good. All booked as we left.
Went for the x-ray on Friday, and the comment from the radiographer was see your doctor in a week to find out what to do next! Doesn't that sound like there is something on it? I hope the CT scan comes through quickly as my breathing seems worse by the day, and it is as much as I can do to go upstairs sometimes.
Fingers crossed please.
