I agree with Lolly - SEE YOUR ONCOLOGIST! After the bronchitis and antibiotics that did nothing, the x-ray showed slight pneumonia. They gave me an antibiotic for the pneumonia, and it did nothing but waste more time. The fluid build up changed from day to day. I got weaker and weaker and then ended up in the ER. From there, a pulmonary was called in to drain my lungs. My onc came to visit and yell at me. I should have gone straight to the onc in the beginning!
