What Causes Coughing Up Of Blood After Recovering From Liver Cancer?
My husband survived large Bcell lymphoma of the liver (stage 3 or 4), 4 years ago. He has had several stents in his heart several years ago, he has been well for four years. Tonight he started coughing a small amount of bright red blood. He is a long time smoker.. being the weekend, and in a small city, he won t go to the ER
It could be bleeding from GI ( gastrointestinal tract). Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. We have to do all bleeding parameters and endoscopy for further evaluation. If his hemoglobin is low, blood transfusions has to be started.
