Hi Molly, I had and still do get a cough that last for quite awhile. I finished taxotere, Xeloda, and am still on Herceptin. It's a dry cough and I too get short of breath. I had small lung mets when diagnosed..they are now gone. I have had CT/Pet scans regularly (one done 2 weeks ago) and they show that I am still NED. My Oncologist said the cough could be a side effect of the chemo or radiation. My cough will come and last for a week or so, then go away. Just like some of the other nagging side effects I have (severe headaches and rib pains). I find they are aggrivated more when I exercise. I would definately mention the cough to your doctor and get a CT scan if necessary to ease your mind..sherryg683
