Cough since September

Patti, I just went through a scare, right around my one year anniversary. I started an intermittent cough about 6 weeks ago as well. It was nothing serious and, like you, some days it is better, some days worse. I never developed a sore throat or cold and I was already on claritin. No wheezing but seems like there is mucous at the back of my throat (not post nasal drip, as I am familiar with that), this seems to be coming from my throat/chest. This caused me to be hoarse on some days as well. I did not have LPR (silent GERD) as I just visited an ENT a few months back to confirm. Anyways, it started getting a little worse so I finally called my MO. For peace of mind, she ordered a CT of the chest. The night after my scan, I actually coughed so hard that I coughed up bright red blood twice. I was convinced at that point that I had lung mets. Cried my heart out till noon the next day when the doctor's office called. Said that the CT was clear as day. I promise I will celebrate this Christmas as I have never before ( I lost christmas to cancer dx last year ). So, you never know, as cancer patients our minds wonder to the darkest places. Please check with your MO if you are concern and don't waste another Christmas to this disease.

Looks like you've also recently had surgery. That can cause fluid build up as well. Allergies can give you post nasal drip that can cause a cough. Some people, as they age, also develop rhinitis (non-specific) and arimidex has a symptom list that nasal congestion/issues can develop.

I would certainly mention it. Why spend the time worrying, right? Best to you!
