8. No Ordinary Cough
When the user’s grandfather had finally made an appointment to see what is wrong with him, it was the worst possible news. It was an aggressive form of lung cancer, and he had died within three weeks.
The user said that if his grandfather had come into the doctor’s office sooner, there might have been a way for him to receive treatment. Although tragic, experts say non-smokers genuinely have to worry less about a chronic cough as a sign of cancer. The most common causes of chronic cough for non-smokers are postnasal drip, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
