Have had a cold, yellow phlegm, slight cough. normal to have pressure behind one ear with this? had breast cancer and am afraid of brain mets?!

Sx's outside o brain: So, unrelated to brain. On the other hand, without an exam, I can only give general information, but phlegm and cough can be a sign of beginning pneumonia if they continue. Scary risky if someone's immune system is gone in context of serious chemotherapy/radiation.
