Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 72 | A nagging cough could be a sign of pneumonia. Tim was just diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia. He had a nagging cough for weeks that he thought was in his throat. It wasn�t all that bad, but it kept him up at night. He finally got tired of the cough and saw the doctor. Apparently, it�s very common in people with swallowing problems. Tim finished his radiation and chemo treatments at the end of July.
Hang in there. There is a lot of laughter, love and adventure with cancer if you just look for it. They may be hiding right now, but they are there waiting for you.
