Hi, is your sleep any better since switching to the new BP medicine? If the cough continues your oncologist's suggestion of botox has support in the medical literature (three example links below) for patients when for nothing else worked. Most are free to read online and you'll get a pretty good idea of the patient outcomes. And botox has been used for chronic cough since at least 2010. I hope you're able to get a good night's sleep soon.

Yes, the BP switch has helped. Cough is about 10% of what it was and I've been sleeping through the night since last Friday. New BP is AMLODIPINE.
