Side affects

[navy22navy]

1 yr survivor of lung & uterean cancer.had surgery for one cancer biopsy on lung. Chemo treatment for both cancers then radiation for for the first cancer then surgery on the lung had a lportion of lung removed on right lung. Only thing I deal with is some unusual side affects after the lung surgery. Very off the chart sensitive to chemicals in the air in processed foods & GMO foods. Chemicals you breathe in the air I have a hard time breathing. In foods it leaves a chemical taste in your mouth. Everything I use has to be chemical free. Were I use to live had to move to were I have no problem in breathing & not looking like white as a ghost because of the chemicals in the air. Lympedema in my legs that comes and goes that's bad. Cold air or from A/C will cause pain have to keep those areas warm all the time. All this happen 5 days after my lung surgery.

My lung surgery left me very sensitive to pollutants and cold. I live in Wisconsin so this was not fun. We happened to have pollution from some Canadian forest fires shortly after I returned home from the hospital. I spent a lot of time indoors In air conditioning. I also experienced sensitivity in the surgery sites and had to keep them warm. This does subside with time. It will be 2 years June 1 and most of those symptoms have resolved except for the air pollution. If it is bad, I have trouble breathing.

I hope this helps and I wish you steady improvement of your symptoms.

Thanks! I thought I was the only one going through this type of side affects.

According to my oncologist, these symptoms are very common and do subside with time. My experience showed him to be right, so I expect you will improve with time.
