      I can not wait until the beginning of July to see my oncologist for this nagging cough and shortness of breath so I made an appointment with my GP he has all my records from Madison. Hope he can help me with this coughing and to top things off I am having terrible panic attacks. We leave on Friday for WIsconsin for our son's wedding and that is a 6 hour ride, hubby said he will put the seat down in our van so I can lay down since that is the most comfortable I feel, this just sucks I have so much to do to get ready and all I am doing is resting. JUst needed to vent some!

              I was wondering how you were.  I hope that your doctor helped you out.  I was going to suggest maybe an inhaler to help you short term.  Have a wonderful time at the wedding.

              Take care

                He took an xray and it shows the fluid is half way up my lung and I also have a sinus infection, he put me on the talleson perls for the cough, zpack and predisone for the sinus infection. My oncologist from Madison has ordered the fluid to be drained on the 27th in Madison. So will leave on Friday for our son's wedding and I will just take it easy, if I feel the need to go back to the motel to rest then I will.
