There is also a syndrome called chemo cough. I had it for 6 weeks while on chemo. Thank goodness it ended before chemo did. It started about a week or 2 after my second AC and continued until I was almost done. This happened to another woman I know too.
Secondly, Herceptin and the taxanes can be quite allergic and allergies can cause coughs even though, in general, one feels quite well (and has very few other allergic type symptoms).
