Leah, Cool and Stephanie are correct, side effects happen and the docs don't tell us about them but given a choice, would we not do chemo or radiation knowing our lungs or arteries might have problems? No, the most important thing is to stay alive and be as active and happy as we can be.
Being vigilant is good but being overly anxious is not.
I ask too many questions also!!!
I also have breathing problems thanks to side effects but I walk, I go to the gym, I travel, etc. I huff and I puff when I go up hills or do too much but do I regret or second guess my treatment? No, I'm so very grateful I'm still here!!! as a friend who like me has had a recurrence "Life is just too much fun!" that's my new motto.
Take care and enjoy things. You'll have a great summer.
hugs
