My husband has oesophageal cancer. He had an op in 2020 but at the end of 2021 it returned. Sadly I don't think he has a long while left but he has been doing very well, even managing to do lots of work to the outside of the house! However about 4-5 weeks ago he developed a cough. He coughed so often and so hard that he has hurt his back. He has been on morphine from the GP for this. It ran out last week and paracetamol wasn't really helping and he was in pain most of the bank holiday weekend. Luckily he now has some more morphine.
His last scan (about 1-2mths ago) showed his cancer was stable but they don't know what is causing the cough so he has another scan tomorrow.
I am just worried and wonder if this is a sign of an advanced stage of the disease?
I hope he can get past the cough and resulting pain to get back to a good place.
If anyone else has had any experience of this, I would welcome some feedback please.
