Lung Concerns

[Joannie]

Hi All:
I posted last week about shortness of breath and chest pains which I thought was due to taking Tykerb. I'm currently enrolled in the TEACH trial. I went and had an echo and CT scan of the heart on Wed. All the tests show normal. After more reading, I am concerned I might have lung issues....I have read the symptoms of lung cancer and some of what I'm experiencing was listed. My onc. office is closed today but I have an appt. to see them Wednesday. I already know the test results. I think that I need to call them first thing Monday morning and arrange for them to call in an order for a lung x-ray. I recently have had tumor marker tests done, both through the trial and through my regular onc. All were normal. I know those tests are not the perfect guage. My blood pressure was quite low. 91 over something. I have also had numbness/tingling in my hands during the night, for the past 3 nights. I'm worried and now I have a long holiday weekend to get through. I'm relieved it's not my heart, as least so far, but could it be lung mets??? Advice please!
Thanks!
