I read that upper research infection can be a side effect of Calquence. Let your oncologist know. Good luck

Sounds terrible. Tell your doctor ASAP. I have a runny nose in morning. ...

Sorry to hear about your problems. The first thing you want to rule out is Covid. I had a similar problem years ago that was caused by a parcel lung collapse. It was resolved with treatments of antibiotics.

I hope the biopsy will reveal your problem soon.

Keep us informed.

I cough up chunks of mucus some mornings and the look grey and thick and green but I have not gotten sick at all in the lungs and it's been a long time. Have you gotten PET scan

I have had a filthy cold for 9 weeks, copious thick snot and a racking cough bringing up even more phlegm. I saw my GP who diagnosed a chest infection and put me on a 5 day course of CoAmoxiclav but that was in early August and here we are in October and the snot is still pouring out, enough to supply a candle factory, though Beconase seems to be reducing the flow somewhat. I did a LFT early on and had a -ve result. I am on Acalabrutinib and weekly SCIG of 16g. I would have hoped that the transfused IgG would have given me some immunity to the common cold but perhaps the Acalabrutinib has inhibited that. I have a consultation with my haematologist in a fortnight's time so I'll ask her then. In the meantime it's paper hankies by the boxfull and our Tesco seems to have a shortage of them as the shelves are bare. It'll be kitchen towel or bog-roll next!

Thanks everyone that’s really helpful still waiting on the gpBut I’m going to see the consultant

At the end of the. Month so I just hope he can help

My bloods are getting better though

So that’s great cheers

Still really nasty phlegm though

Customers ask me if I’m ok

They think it’s COVID

Fair enough we all have to keep safe

I have had a cough for 7 months and it is so hard to get that thick mucus up. I have never had anything like this, when I say thick that is s understatement. I sure wish it would leave. All my numbers are great and in remission but this cough is enough to drive a person crazy!!!
