Hi Celeste,
For what it is worth, I had a cough during TCH treatment also. This cough lasted a long time up until I completed herceptin. I hope that will bring some ease to your worry. (Easier said then done) the very good news you are getting positive results with the treatment as the tumor has gotten smaller, so you know the TCH is doing its job.

Some points to help you feel better:
Has the cough increased or stayed the same?
Are you coughing up any blood?
Do you have chest pains?
Any breathing difficulties or heavy wheezing?

From your post it sounds more like the treatment is causig the cough, is it a dry cough? Mine was.

I hope this helps you to feel better, I think you are very wise to treat yourself to those cookies!
Relax bit and enjoy them, I am sure when you see the dr. he will confirm that you are doing fine.

My very best wishes,
Jean
