Hi everyone my wife found out October stage 4 she's had her first treatment today no side effects are her food I cooked later it's just the coughing that's getting her down any tips would be welcome. So glad I found this group as it's so hard to understand everything thanks !
Hi M6Tiger, welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. Coughing is so tiring, you don't realise how many muscles you use until you have a constant cough. Has your wife been prescribed any inhalers to help with this? I don't know what treatment your wife is on, but sometimes the beginning of treatment can make the cough worse before it gets better. I hope the treatment continues to go well for her x
