Dry cough

I am wondering if anyone has had issues with a dry cough after treatment for metastatic breast cancer brain surgeries. I started taking letrozole in late February and then started Ibrance a month or so later. I stopped the Ibrance after three rounds and I am taking another drug, Gallium Maltolate, instead. I’ve had the cough off on and off since May 7. It is non-productive most of the time and only bothers me late at night and when I wake up in the morning. Has anyone else had this experience? I had a chest x-ray a few weeks ago and have not heard back about the results which I assume is a good thing!

Hi;). My mom was diagnosed with MBC with lung nets in March 2021. She is on Ibrance and letrozole. She cleares her throat a lot and dry coughs on and off. The most recent blood work was ok. The tumor marker was very low. She will have her scan next week. Hopefully no progression for her…

Ibrance can cause lung issues, And symptoms can include cough and shortness of breath. I'm on Verzenio and was evaluated for this due to some breathing issues. Thankfully I was fine.

Talk to your doctor! It could be many things or nothing at all. 🤞
