Lung cancer cough

Hi

my dad is recently a terminal lung cancer patient and over the past 5 weeks after coming out of hospital he has developed a nasty cough that causes him to put himself into a panic and make him feel sick?

Is there any ways to help his cough we've tried everything.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, CarmenV.

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad, it sounds like he's having a rather tough time with this cough he developed lately.

    I had a look at our website and found this page with some information about living with lung cancer and I hope this can help your dad a little.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call and ask for their opinion. The lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
