Brief Answer:
Needs further workup

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Fluid filled mass with history of breast CA alerts for metastasis , infections, Cavitatory lesions and cystic lesions like hydatid cyst. CT scan of the chest will clear up things and if needed should be followed by transbronchial biopsy. Its good idea to have sputum cultures as well, use morning sputum after you wake up from sleep for cultures and hope for the best.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
