Hi, I am very concerned about an ongoing situation with my wife. As background in 2015 she had Er+ breast cancer, lumpectomy and radiation, then on tamoxifen from then.

In November 2022 she developed a cough particularly at first, early in the  morning, unfortunately coincidently she at the same time she had a major vaginal bleed, long story short this resulted in her having a full hysterectomy in January and a subsequent diagnosis of uterine cancer but deemed  removed so no further treatment.  During the trauma of above we realised the cough continued but were to preoccupied to give it attention, however the cough has got worse and now she is coughing more in the morning and 'throat' clearing most of the day. She has also progressed from coughing up clear phlegm to green phlegm now, she has no other symptoms no cold or fever.

This has now been going on for 3 months, clearly the adverts about lung cancer suggest any cough that lasts more than 3 weeks should be investigated.  
We did report the cough to the GP in November in passing when discussing the uterine issues, and raised it again a couple of weeks ago, tte GP prescribed a course of antibiotics, which seemed to do nothing, with that knowledge the GP ordered a chest X-ray, which she reported as 'nothing sinister seen' but a 'small amount of infection in the left base of the lung'  we are currently awaiting what she plans next given the antibiotics didn't seem to do anything.

Obviously given breast cancer can spread to lung several years after initial diagnosis I am concerned this is a possibility.  So after all that my question is,

Are there any ladies on here who have breast mets to the lungs and if so how were these discovered or what led you to get checked to get that confirmed.

Thanks for reading my message if you have made it this far.
