Hi



Breathing is becoming a challenge for me. Can anyone suggest how I can ease this.



I also need help to sleep and / or calm my nerves.



I'm a train wreck......... Help, please.

    Oh KeepingFaith!!!  I hope your doctor gives you something today to help with the breathing and relaxing so you can get some rest.

    KeepingFaith - if you are having to think about breathing that much then you need to visit the doctor or hospital. I notice you haven't been back here for a while so hopefully you have gone to be checked out :-)

    Please have your doctor check you out. If it's anxiety they can give you something. If you have fluid in the lungs (which I had), they can drain it. 

    Please let us know how you are doing.

    Hi all,



    Thanks for your advice.



    I just returned from a weekend away with my husband. Very relaxing.



    The anxiety abd tears have abated but the breathing remains a concern for me.



    I am trying to 'hold on' till I see my onc on Wednesday. If it gets worse I will seek help before then.

    Hey ladies,



    I had some fluid aspirated. They only managed 200ml of what they think is 1litre. Better than nothing. I felt almost instant relief.



    Meet with onc tomorrow. Preparing for the worst and trusting that with treatment, I'll be here to celebrate next Christmas - hopefully more.



    Thank you for 'holding my hand', I really appreciate you all.
