[|Human|] Im worried about my mom she is coughing up blood with mucus and she says it feels like a knot in her throat that needs to come up....she just got done with radiation because she had a mass on her leg which was cancer , they said they got it all, she also has 3 stints in her heart , she use to smoke but she quit about 2 years ago when she got her stints, she smoked ever since she was 16 and she is now 72
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for writing to ChatDoctorYou didn't mentioned type of cancer she had on her leg. Some primary cancer can metastasize to lungs. Your mother also had history of smoking, so lung cancer can't be ruled out. All probabilities have to be confirmed by imaging. Not the least it can be infective also. So, she needs chest-ray(PA) and Contrast CT Scan of thorax. Treatment depends upon findings of investigations and clinical examination. Take Care Chat Doctor.
