What Are The Symptoms Of Lung Cancer?

I had lung cancer three months ago. A recent CT scan showed what might be another cancer or scar tissue. Waiting for results of another PET scan. Coughing up blood (last night it began with a blood clot). Had a procedure earlier in the day where an ENT dr. went through my nose into my throat. Deadened my throat before beginning. Could this be from that or does scar tissue bleed?

hello dear. I have gone through your details. So post treatment it may be either a scar tissue bleed or recurrence. However the final diagnosis will be made only by a biopsy of the tissue. PET will guide from where biopsy can be taken. Sometimes an infective foci may also look like a recurrence and can bleed also. So you do not worry and undergo a biopsy after the PET report. Hope you now understand.
Thanks
