Suggest Treatment For Bleeding In Lungs In A Lung Cancer Patient

My mother in law is experiencing bleeding in her lungs due to lung cancer treatments that involve both chemo and radiation. She is taking coumadin because of her heart valve operation from years ago. The doctors don't seem to know what to do and we are becoming increasingly worried.

Hi

As your mother in law is having bleeding in her lungs due to cancer treatment i would suggest she takes tranexamic acid tablets 500 mg thrice daily after food for 5 days.

She is also advised to take steam inhalation.

Regards
