Anyone know about this?

My husband was dx with stage III lung cancer in 2007. He went into remission after chemo and radiation treatments. He's been doing well until the last couple of months. He is now coughing terribly again. When he coughs very hard he seems to have like a mini seizure where he loses control of his arm. It gets weak and starts shaking. Sometimes it's both arms, but mostly just the right. I am worried that there is pressure somewhere on his brain. Has anyone had this happen before? Michele |

Contact your internist and oncologists immediately, see if you can get in for appointment right away or tell them you would like to go to the ER for immediate evaluation. This may be nothing but you can't be sure until you have been seen. You will both feel better when you have done this. Even if it is a relapse, you will be moving proactively, you may have more treatment options. My prayers are with you.

Thanks Dennycee for the support. Unfortunately, my husband is kind of difficult to get to the drs. He has an appt. in November the day after Thanksgiving. I think he's just really scared and doesn't want to know. I of course suspect the worst because everything is almost identical to what happened in 2007. I'll just keep prodding him...that's all I can do. He's a big boy and responsible for his own healthcare. Thanks again for the prayers.
