Sorry it's been so long. I'm still going through problems. My cancer is in remission. But my breathing problems is still on going. But I have found out it wasn't from the blood clots. The bases of both my lungs collapsed, I have CAC [ calsium build up in the polumary artiries, which happens to people over 70 ] but Chemotherapy can make it worse by more than 35%. I also found out that the hospital disscharged me the day after receiving my last Chemotherapy treatment? So everytime I tried to get help it was someone elses problem. I've had to go private without health cover. I'm not going to let lose on the hospitals but they need to really have a good look at them selves. One report had a reffering DR on it, the Dr doesn't even exsist? 5 months after being in hospital because I was struggling to breath, Nothing from them at all. Even after putting in a complaint, no help at all. I guess my warning is be carefull, I was lied to that I would get a Medical Oncologist allocated to me! It never happened. Just try and keep positive. David. ... View more
