Hello doctor. I recently started coughing up a lot of blood and tissue. Felt like I was suffocating. Turns out bleeding from traction bronchiectasis. Clot was aspirated following day. Fibrosis from radiation (mantle) in 1992 from Hodgkin's. I don't hv a lot of confidence in local pulmonalgist as he never discussed this w/me prior to this frightening event. I know it might happen again. Can't find too much info on TRACTION bronchiectasis on line; I mostly find info on bronchiectasis. I don't hv all the other symptoms of bronchiectasis in, coughing, mucus etc. Looking for someone who sees patients with late effects of Hodgkin's. Your videos are so easy for me to understand and have helped me so much. Thank you, Kathleen
Hi Kathleen, there can be a lot of long term effects of mantle radiation. It may be worth a shot to see a radiation oncologist to help manage the issues and make referrals to physicians (pulmonologists, cardiologists, etc) who deal with these effects. Good luck to you.
Please do videos more frequently
very nice informative session thanks Dr.
Thank you
Thank you!!
It's an excellent video
