Brief Answer:
CT chest

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Though you are having a history breast cancer coughing clear mucus and blood does not mean the cancer has come back.

I would advise you to do a CT scan of chest. It may be an infection in your lung.

I will also advise you to do a bilateral mammography test.
