Hi again...
All my symptoms are pretty mild, and from the way it sounds pretty normal, but the heavy chest feeling bothers me a bit...Vicky, did you mention it to your onc? If so, what did they say? My onc did a CT after the first treatment and everything came back normal, then it happened again with 2nd treatment...Just wondering if its a common side affect...
