Does anyone have any experience with coughing / sore throat and lung mets please?
The cough started around the time perindopril was added as a heart protection drug. Before this, despite the mets, there was very little coughing.
Blood infection markers are slightly up but just coughing lots and producing lots of clear mucus / phlegm. No breathlessness or chest pain at all. Still active… just coughing.
The hospital are going to look to see if the Kadcyla is causing any lung issues but it just sounds so terrible I am worrying!
i have multiple lung mets and they were only found due to me having lots of coughs and chest infections. Now I am being treated and they are shrinking I do sometimes have a cough and cough up mucus, but you can still get a chest infection/cough that will cause the mucus so it may be that……and they take longer to clear up due to meds that we are all on. Definitely follow up with your team as they may want to give you something to reduce the mucus, I have a nasal spray that I use sometimes as nose mucus drips down my throat and causes me to cough.
Good luck getting to the bottom of the cause and getting it sorted
