I was sent for blood work but follow up appointment is three months from now. I can t wait. Now my lehs become weak when I experience the shortness of breath. Please help!
Hi, Shortness of breath can be due to respiratory cardiac cause. Your obesity may be the cause also. This problem is unrelated to your cancer. Now the type of spinal cancer and uterine tumor to be mentioned. The treatment history is also necessary. If your spinal tumor was an extension of cranial tumor then there is a chance of malignant tumor which might be treated by craniospinal irradiation. So this history is also important, this can cause an endocrine problem. Please follow your doctors' advice.
