Hi,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCm App.I have gone through your query.In my opinion there are remote chances of coughing ,which may indicate complications of Tamoxifen.Consult your chemo-doctor.I would advise urgent basis-Chest X-ray would resolve any new issue cropping up tamoxifen-pulmonary thrombo-embolic complications and any metastatic growth with breast cancer.In this scenario-I would stop the Tamoxifen-unless the risk of the complication of tamoxifen or resistance to tamosifen is ruled out.Thnks.Wellcome again.
