Still feeling the effects of the radiation pneumonitis. Unfortunately, my left lung remains collapsed. I still get extremely short of breath even with very minor activities. Walking a few feet would make me gasp and even talking takes its toll on me. Mornings are especially hellish. I now have new swollen nodes on both sides of my neck which are being treated by both hyperthermia and radiation. Unfortunately, the treatment causes swelling on my neck and my breathing becomes affected. NOT a good thing. I wake up in the morning feeling the effects of fluid build-up in my upper respiratory tract. This further impedes airflow in my already constricted windpipe.
I am extremely frustrated at this stage. I have been doing well and then one major set-back compounded by another. I feel like fate's fool (as Romeo so eloquently pronounced). All I can do is take each day as it comes and deal with things as best as I could.
It would help if Ramon would be more understanding. I understand his frustration. Unfortunately, there's not much I could do to alleviate the situation.
