I am 64, diagonosed stage IV July 2004. I had 2 feet of right
descending colon removed. I have mets to the Liver and Lung,
both unoperable. I have been on Chemo since Oct 2004, now on
Folfox with Oxipilatin. I have always shared info on this board,
now I need help.
I have had extreme breathing problems for several months now.
Walking from room to room leaves me breathless and exhausted.
I use Adavair, 500/50 2x a day. I have Albuterol and nebulizer
treatments daily but nothing works. I have Chest CTS every 2 months
and a chest xray occaisonally. The Oncologist said it had nothing
to do with chemo and my primary care said I do not need oxygen!
My question is, what do I need and is anyone else having this problem?
The treatments are not so bad, after almost 2 years, I can tolerate
most anything. The breathing problem has put me in a depression
and taken the fight out of me. Any advice will be considered.
Thanks, Carol
