Lung Issues

I had my first chemo treatment two weeks ago. I’m due for the second this Friday. Three days after the first treatment, my breathing became labored and my chest felt very heavy. My port was placed yesterday, and they did a chest x-ray after the surgery and saw that there is partial collapse of the left lung. They said this can be a side effect of the chemo. I am concerned about going to the next treatment and this happening again. Has anyone had this happen?
