Re: Not sure what to think of the info I got today
Wow Leah, your doc is amazing - also love that "if you were my sister" line- I wish all docs would remember that...
BTW, I developed SOB about a year ago, only noticed it when I was climbing up stairs, or going for long walks. With BC of course I immediately thought the worst, my GP did send me for a chest Xray, which was clear, but she also sent me for a special breath test, where you blow really hard and long into this tube and they measure ... well guess what, turns out I now have asthma - I strongly feel this is a late s/e from Herceptin. So I have an Advair disk and emergency puffer - I only use the disk occasionally, and the puffer maybe 3 x in the past year. More parting gifts from BC treatment, but hey, it is what it is.
Keep well.
all the best
caya
