Could Chronic Cough While Having Raynauds And History Of Breast Cancer Suggest Lung Cancer?
My mother has raynauds, has had breast cancer with a mastectomy she has had a cough for about a month that is getting worse and now nausea. Her mental condition is also sliding fairly fast. Just wondering if the breast cancer could have returned as lung cancer?

Dear ,
Dont know what other treatment she has received for breast cancer. Possibility is that there may metastasis from old primary. It is to be ruled out if it is metastasis or some infective process which is giving rise to chronic cough. Minimum you need one X ray of the chest.
