Hi there,
I hope all is well with everyone. Back in Sept of this year I began haveing exercise intollerance, weight loss (under control now), and pain in the pelvic area, heavy feeling in my chest. My GP had a ct of pelvis and abdomen done. The pelvis showed a ovarian cyst which explained the pain but to our suprise it caught the lower portion of the lungs and they had multiple densities not shown on previous pet scan. My onc is one that only does scans when symptoms occur. She seems to think the heavyness in my chest is due to conjestive heart failure from the herceptin as I have not developed a cough. I had to stop H in June due to drop in echo. This heavyness persists though and I was wondering if anyone had lung mets without a cough? I have a repeat scan next week and I'm getting a little nervous.
Thanks for your help, Alice
