Blood seen during ENT scope
Had appointment with the ENT doctor who scoped me and saw an inflamed area that had a spot of blood on it. This was the same area as the tumor. He asked me if I had been spitting up blood and I said I had not seen any blood. I asked if it was just a spot that had not healed yet (only 11 weeks out of treatment) and he said he did not know. He said he would do a biopsy as his next move. I feel that this is going to be a problem and may be more cancer. If the biopsy shows that I need surgery he said I could have it done locally with Dr. Saal or at Ochsner in New Orleans.
I see the Oncologist tomorrow and we will discuss the date for the PET scan. Hoping to have it done the week of the 20th of this month which would be 3 months out from treatment.
This is not what I thought I would hear. My throat has improved a great deal in the last few weeks. Why is there blood in my throat?
