My problem at the moment I'm five weeks into my remission but I have a really bad bouts of coughing producing a white mucus. This seems to be increasing in intensity.Has anyone else found a way of relieving the cough to a manageable level without having to double up coughing? I would be grateful for any help in this matter.
Hello Brian
sorry to see that this post has not been answered, great to hear that you are in remission after your stage 4 diagnosis
I would suggest speaking with the oncologist to see if you can have another scan, more on your lungs than anything else, as Dal (my husband) experienced similar to you after a chest infection.
I do know that some people with OC do have this mucus problem, but I have not heard from anyone in remission experiencing it, therefore I will bump up your post in the hope that someone else may be able to offer some suggestions.
Alternatively you could always leave a message on the Ask A Nurse forum, or Call the Support line,
Best of Luck
