Wink Horrid Cough

Had it. Lasted 2 wks + another wk of generally feeling wiped out. Called doc and got a prescription for something like Cheritussin. Worked magically. I had a sore throat from coughing so much. Had clogged sinuses, used Ayr in nose (OTC), which clearing my sinuses but dripped into my chest. Thought I might have pneumonia, but at my cardiologist's checkup had him listen and he said all was clear. Why didn't you call your onc? I never "pester" but when I have a problem I call. I get a call back the same day. That's as it should be. YOUR A CHEMO PATIENT! You deserve that. Feel better. (I caught mine from my 9 mnth old grandson who I couldn't resist kissing multiple times.) Love is beautiful, but a compromised immune system means washing your hands constantly and some Purel. I this case, that plus all my supplements just weren't enough. My husband, also exposed, was fine. Didn't catch anything, from little Ari or from me. Though I did not kiss him and told him to stop reaching his fork in to my plate, as is his habit. We blew kisses... ANDI
