Is coffee bad for lung cancer patient?

No: There is no evidence that coffee is bad for lung cancer patients. However, please bear in mind that coffee is a natural diuretic (make people urinate more often). If you have advanced disease and side effects from treatments, drinking a lot of coffee may lead to frequent urination and loss of water and dehyration and it may worsen tiredness, fatigue and poor energy. It may also affect your sleep.
