Yes, I have coughing spells and times when my chest feels so tight that I get worried that somethings going on..there are times when I find it hard to breath (although I think some of it's anxiety). If you had radiation that could cause it and I don't know about Herceptin, but it messes with my sinuses so I figure it's probably messing with other things such as breathing too. In fact, I do find I usually get real tight in the chest after Herceptin. If you had a CT in December, I wouldn't think you would need on right now. Is the spot in your lungs cancerous? I had 2 lung spots too but they went away with chemo. I had PET/CTs every 3 to 4 months for the first 2 years. Now, I will do them every 6 months. As far as the coughing, it's that time of the year, I wouldn't worry about it at all with a scan as recent as yours. And to think of it, before I was diagnosed I had no coughing or breathing problems at all, no symptoms. I wish that I felt as good as I did before the cancer was discovered. Most of my symptoms now are due to the chemo and medicine...sherryg
