I was diagnosed as Stage 4 NSCLC nearly a year ago but have never had a cough, wheezing or any shortness of breath throughout the whole time.
A. couple of days ago I developed asore throat and a dry tickly cough (not covid - I tested 3x).
I'm wondering, could it be a bog standard cold, or maybe pneumonitis (yes I've been on Dr Google)
My original lung function yest was good, and because I've never had any chesty symptoms, no copd, no asthma no nothing, I've often thought maybe I've dodged the 'cough bullet' in fact, the main symptoms that led to diagnosis was metastatic bone pain, not coughing.
So my question is, how many of you have had the classic symptoms of coughing and what type of cough was it?
Have any of you had lung cancer for a while but never had the typical, expected lung cancer cough?
As you can tell, I'm hoping it IS just a cold.
Any thoughts and advice welcome. X
