Hey Annette, No action yet - just trying to find out exactly what it is and if it's going to progress, as am quite affected by breathlessness and constant tiredness. I figure it must be a lack of oxygen so have tried myself to improve things by taking up singing again. Helped a bit, but trying to sing is also very tiring, if enjoyable.
The scar tissue from the actual surgery makes my ribs on the left very tight and sometimes it feels like I've been fitted with some sort of medieval device designed to extract a confession! But I think I can cope with that, but the lung thing might be more of a worry - like we don't have enough with the cancer. But like you, I'm one of those who has to know every little bit - that's how I have to process all this s==t, by understanding exactly what is going on.
I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet which they think is caused by being borderline diabetic. However I do deal with that by diet myself and it keeps the numbers down OK and has also made the neuropathy retreat quite a lot, so that I'm hardly bothered by it. However, I also have spinal issues and that can cause it, plus was diagnosed several years ago with MGUS and that can cause it too. Thankfully, the MGUS has just sat there and not developed at all, so that's a relief. Hope you can get some relief, whatever it is.
Thank goodness we can come on here and there's always somebody to share it with who gets it. Hugs from Rainie xxx
