Cough conclusion

Well, just spoke to wonderful Dr H, and couple of interesting things:

• coughing not usually a side effect of chemotherapy
• no temperature, not a chesty cough - no need for antibiotics, pleased about that
• aches and pains are probably from the "neulaster" - which was the white blood cell growing injection, and she recommended I take panadol regularly for relief of aches and pains
• apparently the lymphoma in the chest was small enough that she feels the first lot of chemo would have all but gotten rid of it or "melted it", and she wasn't surprised about the reduction in the lump in my stomach - BIG SMILE :))
• and lastly, its OK to try beconase for rhinitis (post-nasal drip) which may be causing the cough - finally I might get rid of this bloody cough!

I'm pleased I made the effort to ask the question, because I got more good news than I bargined for!

Righto - Time for a medicinal wine!
