Re: Lung Problems on Kadcyla?

Hello,
I have fibrosis in my lung due to the radiation. I was told it couldn't spread to the other lung, hope they're right about that. I was given a spiriva inhaler to help with breathing problems- not sure of the side effects or interactions with other things.
There are physical therapy exercises you can do to improve breathing - my husband has Ankylosing Spondilitis and had extreme breathing problems until he wasw given several exercises to do to strengthen his lung capacity.
It is frightening when you feel breathless when you have been used to doing a lot.
take care
hugs
sarah
