Joannie,
I don't know what to say to put your mind at ease regarding lung mets. I was diagnosed with lung mets in July and if I were you I would ask my oncologist for a PEt/CT scan of the chest just for your own peace of mind. I'm sure that your shortness of breath is nothing serious as when I was on Herceptin I always had shortness of breath. I've also read that Tykerb can cause shortness of breath.
