Does anyone know anything to soothe a raking cough. My husband had his kidney and a cancered stomach node removed on march 13th, then two weeks later April 8th he had surgery to remove a tumour in his right lung however the operation was cancelled because his left lung kept collapsing and they were afraid they might lose him. He also has mets in both lungs. I know coughing is part of lung cancer, but I just wondered if anyone had a secret remedy or any suggestions. He is on his first cycle of Sutent, has Nausea, and Steroids tablets, and is now on ten 50mg tabs of tramal, because on friday midnight, he coughed so much he broke the cartlidge off his rib and also caused a hernia at his removed kidney site. He was so looking forward to his last day of chemo on Sunday and now he is back in bed. If anyone else has had that coughing problem and may know something that might help him. I just hate to see him trying to catch his breathe all the time.
Thank you for any help
