Cherri my hubby had walking pneumonia... it happens. I have to say that it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY - since you are cancer free and have been for some time - that it is mets to the lungs.

It could be lung cancer (proper) however, I'm assuming you're not a smoker, don't work around second hand smoke, and don't work with carcinogenic chemicals. So the chances of that being the case are exceptionally slim. Usually these tumors are caught on an xray - and for you to be having that much trouble breathing etc... they would be noticeable on an xray.

I would be willing to bet you have pneumonia. Take your meds, take puffers, relax and heal.

It is possible you have aspiration pneumonia, however this far out - I think the problem would have been a chronic one and caught before now. Mind you it doesn't hurt to check right?

I'm thinking regular old pneumonia... from a nasty BUG.
