So really scary experience yesterday. Felt absolutely fine and a few days from my second infusion. Suddenly felt fluid on my lung and started coughing up blood, lasted on and off for about 5 hrs then stopped. A&E, x ray and ct scan…turns out I have a chest infection. So strange…on antibiotics and feel a bit tied but no coughing before or since I had my blood coughing episode! Anyone else experienced this?
