Probably an over reaction here but need to get it out in the Universe. I noticed my Dad (65 post LAR, post ileo -reversal) had a small cough yesterday. I dont visit that oftern now due to Corona precaustions, but always keep an eye on him to notice any changes.
it was not something loud, just like a "hmmph-hmmph" if you get my meaning, dry cough. he did it every couple of hours while playing with the kids. it didn't seem to bother him at all. I dont know if he did/had this before - he was a smoker a long time till his diagnosis 2 years ago, quit cold turkey then.
Reason for my freak-out it is back in December there were specs on his lung CT - inconclusive, had a PET scan, - no metabolic activity seen - Doc's were of the opinion it was nothing - That PET scan was December 2019.
Since then he has had a clear colonoscopy too, Doc's are happy to do tele-consults with him.
Only complaint he has is bowel movements erratic and some pain in the stoma site - which the doc said is normal and will take a long time to normalize for some people.
