The cough that wouldn’t go away was a bellwether to my wife’s ovarian cancer. She was incredibly stubborn when it came to medical issues and had been experiencing some pain in her side that I had been stressing for her to get seen for. She went to urgent care and they did nothing, bolstering her opinion that it was worthless being seen for it. The cough was a dry cough that was not very frequent but the older women in her periphery were very concerned about it. I didn’t think much of it, just a dry cough. The women in the other hand would say things like ‘I really don’t like that cough’ with a concerned face. I don’t know if they had an internalized correlation or it was just a sense of something wrong. It turns out that this is a fairly common symptom.
