Right now, he is at home. His oncologist suggests him to use some anti inflammatory drug. I don’t know whether he should go do another CT scan, he just did one 10 days ago. His fever comes and goes, during the day he feels fine, at night, fever comes and coughs more severe. What should we do?

@cinderellapong, this has to be a scary time. I'm sorry, but no one can provide sound medical advice over this, or any other, forum. I can sympathize with you, and the feelings of helplessness. Don't be shy about calling his doctor to report how the night went, and report concerns or decline in his condition. Keeping the office updated is a good way to get the feedback and attention that he may need. If his condition worsens overnight, don't rule out a visit to the Emergency Room. Do you have a home pulse oximeter? If yes, are his readings dipping?
