A member asked:
Does laying on your back sometimes make it harder to breathe for long cancer patients? if so, what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cancer: Normally, your lungs gradually fill with water and this makes breathing difficult if your family member or friend has it. It would be good to go with the specialist to review the case and if you have water in the lungs remove it
