Hi I'm  new to this my partner  was diagnosed with  lung cancer  in 2022  he has T3 N2 M0 adenocarcinoma  of the right  upper lobe sailed through  intense  chemo  and radiotherapy for 6 weeks  and was doing ok until  January  2023 started  being  unwell   had ct scan  and found  enlarged lymph nodes  in right lung after biopsies  and tests  we were told   it's  no longer curable,  he now having  chemo immunotherapy   every 3 weeks  had to stop his treatment  just before  Christmas  and was in hospital  3 days  with  grade ll lO mediated pneumonitis  was given steroids   which  helped  greatly, now his steroids  has  finished  his cough has started  to come  back it really  worries me. 

  • Hi   welcome to the group but sorry to hear about your partner. I’m not surprised you are worried, I think with any new symptom, cough, ache or pain, we worry and think the worst. It may just be because the steroids have finished that the cough has come back, but I think it is worth mentioning to his GP or oncology team to see what they think. Please let us know how you get on.
