Living, in Limbo

I remember the shortness of breath during my chemo. It wasn't lung cancer so it might be linked to the effects of the chemicals you get every other week.

The red blood cells being wiped over and over when the Chemo destroys everything probably leads to a worse oxygenation.

Wish you a good holiday, enjoy some good wine over there while you're at it!

Good point. Well, I'm going to get three whole weeks without chemo soon, so I'll know whether it's that or just my lungs slowly filling up with junk.

Fingers crossed it's the chemo

I had a rather bad pneumonia once. Couldn't walk 10m without losing my breath. This only was for two weeks, thinking about living like that would drive me insane.
