I hope you are with a pulmonary doctor.  I wouldn't be fooling around with this.  A needle biopsy doesn't always find the cancer.  You can hemorage from that much blood loss.  Go back to the doctor and have him get aggressive until he can tell you what the mass is and what the bleeding is from.  Linda

Same thing happened to me & I'm looking for medical answers... dats why I searched for this particular topic & found this site... anw, I stopped smoking 2 days ago (after 10 years of casual smoking, I'm 27yrs, and exercise regularly)... I stopped now and then cos I just felt like it, and this morning when I woke up, fresh blood started dripping from my nose (aka nose bleed, the night before, I remembered my body getting warm, my head was heavy -- like been struck by a piledriver, so I slept like a log till morning)... and when I cough, A BIG GLOB of DARK RED PHLEGM just dislodged itself. Immediately after the shock, I noticed a sense of 'comfort' and relief in my chest/lungs... as I noticed I breathe better.... so I'm guessing, it must be a good thing!

Maybe it's a bit like (in the Kungfu movies, when the heroes got internal injuries & a sign of 'getting healed' is by coughing up 'bad blood' or 'toxins'?) I'm just giving motivation & positive thoughts on anybody who's experiencing d same... although a doctor's / medical officer's specific answer would serve us better!

Thank u for sharing...
