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

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

You may be safer at home. I hope you have medication to continue your treatment/further improve.

If pneumonia, stay in bed at home and be prepared for a slow recovery. It can take months to get back to normal xx

Oh so very sorry to hear this. Praying that you will be discharged soon and that it’s not Covid. I’m going to start Xeloda Metronomic dosage soon. 500 mg twice daily with Aromasin. Have long have you been on Xeloda? Do you think it caused this infection? Glad to know you are feeling better but will keep praying for you to get well🙏. Keep the faith!

Kiera49 profile image
Kiera49 in reply to MyMiracle13

I don't think Xeloda caused it, this is my third cycle on 3000 a day not coping to well so going to ask her to give me something else

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’ve recently been but on verzenio and I find myself out of breath and very fatigued since. I’m hoping it’s a reaction to the meds and not progression. What if any side effects did you have from verzenio.

Lokio profile image
Lokio in reply to Wildcat1

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
