Thank you Fern for sharing. I had started a thread asking if anybody had chest pain and breathing problems with TDM1 and knew the reasons. 2 or 3 persons reported chest pain and one lung inflammation. I still have the same problem and my heart is fine. One Dr even told me to take a tranquilizer. Did you ever feel like punching a Dr in the nose? Well I did. :-) . ...but I just didn't answer because he is a nice man...(and I don't "punch").
I will have the onc really look at my next scans to be sure there is no lung inflammation. I had a first indication through Barbara H who reported she had to stop and now through your post. I ergo know what to watch. I only had 8 rounds and hope I can continue a long time.
Otherwise my side effects are nausea the first week, fatigue, neuropathy that wakes up at each cycle (induced by Taxol), spots and big pimples on my face the second week, very very dry eyes nose and mouth. Some rounds are better (or worse) then others without being able to know why. I am less fatigued than in the first cycles. I also had pains during my first rounds but not anymore. The very big fatigue and the pains in the beginning maybe came from the destruction of cancer cells or it is just my body that adjusted. But I prefer the first explanation!
