Coughing up black material after radiation treatment for a lung tumor can be concerning. Here are some points to consider based on my knowledge base:

- Radiation Side Effects: Radiation therapy can cause irritation and damage to lung tissues, which might lead to coughing up blood or other materials.
- Lung Metastasis Symptoms: Metastatic melanoma in the lungs can cause symptoms like coughing (with or without blood), chest pain, and shortness of breath.
- Consult Your Doctor: It's crucial to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no complications or additional treatments needed.

Given the current date, Saturday, November 9th, 2024, it's important to address these symptoms promptly with your medical team.
