Failure to follow up latest symptoms

One of the signs of a spreading cancer is a chronic cough.

She has had a cough for allergies, but it's increased and she

refuses to call the doctor.  Her next cat scan is four months

away....she now refuses to discuss it any more.  Any

suggestions....there was something on the lung two years ago

that lies dormant and was being watched.

Can you call the dr yourself?  I don't know your relationship with the person, but if you are in the position of caregiver, you need to be able to discuss issues with the DR for her.  Generally, there is paperwork that the DR office can give you and her to complete to be able to be better involved with her care.  Good Luck
