Hello all,

Wondering if anybody has had similar experiences to me.  I have secondary breast cancer and last year had 2 lung nodules removed, one from each lung.  My CT scans have since been good, as in clear of disease.  However, my most recent scan showed up some inflammation on /around lung which nurse believes may well be the reason I have a cough still.  I'm finding it hard to shift the cough and I get quite bad coughing fits at times, I think particularly after eating but on and off all day.  I don't tend to cough at night.  Has anyone had inflammation on lung post surgery and do you know if there are ways to try to help reduce this with diet, exercise, breathing exercises or medication, or is it just a case of wait and hope for healing in time, or is this a new normal for me?  My oncology team are  monitoring me and I'm due another CT scan beginning of July.  

Warm wishes to all x
