Cathy - just read your early April msg today and hope you are doing OK. Am curious about something you said. I had been taking taxotere & herceptin since Nov. & started becoming very short of breath. Nothing showed up on PET scan & EKG & echocardiogram were normal. Onc ordered a chest xray & itwas discovered I had pleural efflu.
However from time to time if I move the wrong way I get a terribly sharp pain in my left side. Doc thinks efflu caused by taxotere and sharp pain could be a stitch in muscles. After reading your story am wondering if the pain has a more sinister meaning. Did you have pain all the time or just when you moved a certain way? If you happen to see this msg. would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. Cathy B
