First off let me say that I sorry for any words that I misspell. It has been a long day and it is only 1038am here.We found awhile ago that my stepdad has cancer. It is lymoph that he has.Any way he as been in Chemo for a while. He only has two more treatments left. But now he has this cough that will not go away. I was talking to my mom the othe day on the phone. She is ready to cry but would not cry cause she didn't want him to see. I told her tell him see but she would not. I was talking to her again this morning and he is coughing really bad. The cough keep all three of them up last (my son went to stay with them he is 18) My mom does not know what if anything she can give him for it. At least something at night to help them sleep. If anyone has any ideas I would love to her them so that I can past it on to her.
Also does anyone have any ideas on how I can help her deal with all this. We talk every morning but I still think I should be doing more. I feel really helpless right now.
Thank for you time
Regina

Hi and welcome to the board.
I am so sorry your dad is so very ill.
I researched on iVillage and found this link with loads of info on Chemo for you.
some information on cough and chemotherapy.
Was just passing by and saw your post .. just
Thank you for the web site. I printed one out and I am going to give it my mom to read. I also wanted to say that my mom finally decide that she need to get out of the house by herself and she did. She sounded so much better.
Thanks again
Regina
Hi Regina
So glad your Mom has decided to get out of the house and take time for herself.
