Hi,
I too have had a bad cough for over a month now. At one point it was so bad it caused me to loose my voice. I was at the end of Radiation and thought maybe that was the cause. I did have a serious upper respiratory infection and coughed blood twice; I was given Z Pack antibiotics. It seemed to be helping but several days ago I started again this time with a sore throat; still coughing; worse cough I have ever experienced. My xray came back normal; I dont know what to think. I too worry about possible lung mets. I did read if lung mets are in their earliest stages symptoms will appear, but not large enough to show on an xray. I guess I just have to wait and see. Difficult I know. Sick as I have been the onc still gives me Herceptin treatments. I dont know if that is a good idea or not. Hope you are feeling better soon; and will pray we have good results. This disease certainly tests our very limits. Take Care.
