Called 111 as had a fever, coughing, fast heartbeat and low oxygen sats nurse practitioner said it sounded like I had covid, said you will have to get a test but you probably wont be able to get one for ages, she then put me on to Doctor in my area she said it sounds like you have an infection or sepsis so am sending ambulance on blues and two's, finally someone who actually connected my symptoms to my cancer and got a covid test as well. Now waiting for onc she will decide if I can go home, I'm really praying the sooner the better as one lady is shouting all day and night. They saw shadow on left side of my chest hoping its infection like they said I always fear the worst, praying

In hospital
Hi Tracey,
Have you received the test results yet? I hope you donโt have Covid and will soon be discharged from hospital. Please take care and keep us updated on your progress.

Hi now havent had covid results yet but blood test show slight infection, symptoms have improved a bit so dont think its covid, I'm praying it's not covid, we will see
Iโm glad your symptoms have improved. That sounds promising.
Hello lovely, you must have been scared by the coughing and low sats. It can be a sign of covid or lung infection (eg pneumonia) amongst other things.
If it is covid (and I too sincerely hope its not) it seems your body is responding to whatever the hospital docs have given you If they are discharging you or are they referring you for other tests /elsewhere?
May your body fight off the unknown infection(?) soon though be vigilant and don't be afraid to call someone again if you start to go downhill.
Much love xx
My oxygen sats are still quite low, they had shut two ward cos of covid so moved everyone to the other end of hospital and they wanted to get people out of hospital as early as possible and was still restrictions on visiting, but getting better now
Praying too, grateful they got you in though and are really checking things out. Will also pray that the lady stops shouting!
Sorry to read of your hospital stay, you're in the best place though to get checked over. Hope you're 'released' soon and feeling better x
Thank you feel better than I did can go home just waiting for onc permission nurses have told her I want to come off xeloda

Sending healthy wishes your way. I hope you will be home soon, and covid negative.
Hope you are home and feeling much better. These rising covid-19 numbers in the UK and US are frightening and didn't have to happen. I sincerely hope you don't have it and are feeling much better. Best wishes. Blessings Hannah
Thank you waiting for them discharge me apparently they have shut 2 wards because of covid, scary
In April I had a similar scare! Turned out I had inflammation of the lungs they believe from Verzenio. It took a long time to come to that conclusion. It went from concern that I had covid, to an infection and then to the final conclusion. I recommend you use a pulse oximeter to monitor yourself.
It took me a few months to recover. I'm having a PET scan in October. I hope it has resolved itself. Please feel free to reach out to me. Ultimately prednisone proved most helpful. Wishing you the best in your recovery!

I use one every day anyway sats are still low but fever and heart rate are better, hopefully anti biotics will help
Iโve recently been but on verzenio and I find myself out of breath and very fatigued since. Iโm hoping itโs a reaction to the meds and not progression. What if any side effects did you have from verzenio.
I was on it for around 6 months. It did help with attacking the cancer. I, however, had constant diarrhea and stomach pain. By April I had breathing difficulties and tachycardia. It took over a month for my onc to identify it as lung inflammation from Verzenio. I was off it for over 2 months, along with steroids for a month and it has helped. Now I'm on Ibrance and feeling well. I have a PET scan in October. Please talk to your doc about your symptoms.
My best,
Sue
Prayers for answers, solutions, and treatments that will get you home and back on your feet. Hang in there! Being in hospital is no fun, but I'm glad they took your symptoms seriously.
