  • Hi

    I'm sorry to hear that your mum has developed a cough which is causing her a lot of distress.

    Could I suggest that you also post this in the lung cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as you'll then connect with people who have the same type of cancer as your mum and who might have also had this problem. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there if you'd like to do this.
