I had a reaction on Friday evening which caused severe sternum pain/spasms resembling a heart attack. But EKG and Chest xray immediately showed no heart attack. They went to work them on other causes. My lungs are clear and look better than they did the last time.

The doctor has decided it was most likely a reaction to the drug BCNU I received in chemo this time. It can cause lung damage and they were watching for this. The high doses they gave me probably encouraged the reaction.

But all is well now I am feeling much better. I am on oxygen now, of course but that's ok.
