Hello sad to hear about cousin demise and hope the answer is useful to you.As you said your cousin had cough with a mass in neck which could be lymph node(ghoodod) and water in chest cavity could be pleural effusion.This clinical picture could be due to tuberculosis miliary which is common in our country or any cancer spreading to lung or primarily a lung cancer.Doctors were trying to diagnose the disease by sampling neck mass and fluid from lung cavity but illness was for more than 2 months and cancer or miliary T.B in a thin lean person has aggressive course leading to death
