Well the visit didnt go very well and as you all remember couple weeks back I asked about the blood in my heavy mucus. Well I showed a picture of the mucus with blood in it to my ent doctor and I told him I had I have been hacking small traces of blood up for a month. He told me I could have bronchitis or possible lung cancer but the doctor would not give me a clear answer on this hacking up blood so if I am still hacking up blood in 2 weeks I would have to let him know then I might have to get bronchoscopy done so now I am on antibiotics to see if we can stop the bleeding.

    Bronchitis or possible Lung Cancer
    WOW, quite spread between options there....

    Choose Brochitis if you have any choice in it at all....

    Seriously though, my thoughts and prayers are with you, and I'm praying for bronchitis as the most serious diagnosis.

    The first thing that they did when I was coughing up blood was do a chest x-ray. My main complaint was difficulty breathing; I truly thought I had bronchitis. My daughter and her friends were all sick with some respiratory illness at the same time.
