A member asked:
My husband had surgery for nsclc is now having chemo but is now coughing up blood and his stools tested positive, why?

Chemo & Cough Blood: This is not normal. Contact his oncologist ASAP or take your husband to an ER. This could be a side effect of the chemo or a sign that the tumor may have invaded a blood vessel. Get him emergency care NOW.
