Secondary lung cancer

Hi, first time posting on here.  

I had a lumpectomy in December and a re excision in February. I'm currently having EC chemotherapy. My 4th and last cycle of this one has been delayed by 6 weeks due to me being admitted to hospital for 8 days with sepsis, then I developed a chest infection, which took 2 lots of antibiotics to clear it although I do still have a cough. I also tested positive for covid last Wednesday.   My worry is that my breast cancer spread to my lymph nodes so I also had to have full lymph node removal and I'm worried about still having a cough and I have also brought up some blood in my phlegm today.  Don't like to sound dramatic but concerned about lung cancer. 

Has anyone else been through anything similar?

 

  • Hi Kizzi123,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you're getting on OK - I can understand it must be concerning and I'm sure the delay has been difficult to deal with.

    If you have any concerns about this delay, or about any symptoms, it's best to discuss things with your doctor/specialist as they will be best placed to advise.

    Meanwhile if anyone here has similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
