update of breathing issues
I 'm still having shortness of breath - maybe even worse in last couple of days. I had labs today & hemoglobin was slightly better up to 9.3 from 8.9 last week. So that could rule out the cause for the breathing issues. I had a chest x-ray & that didn't show anything either. Next I'm to get a ct scan hopefully Tues. I saw the nurse practioner today & she didn't think it heart related, but said maybe if the ct didn't show anything that a muga would be next. I see my onc. on Thurs.
A friend asked me about thyroid - I would never have thought of that. If that's too low (or high?) perhaps that could cause the shortness of breath she thought. I've never had thyroid issues, but I'll ask for a blood test for that.
Has anyone had any experience with thyroid issues/breathing issues while on chemo?
Thanks.
