Hi everyone, 

just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar to what we’re currently facing, I tried searching this forum and the US one but can’t find much information on people who have been through it too.

My husband finished 3 x bep last month, he got a cough maybe a week before the start of cycle 3.  Fast forward 6 weeks and it’s still there, a chest x Ray has shown some possible changes to the base of his lungs and it’s possibly down to the Bleomycin, but we don’t know anymore than that yet.  They said his ct scan to see if the chemo has worked (which is this week) should be able to tell us more but they’ve started him on 60mg presldone (think that’s spelt wrong but the steroids) in the mean time. He’s been taking these for 5 days now and his cough does seem to have improved but is still there.

Any info/experiences would be a great help!

thanks x
