Hello Newby234,

Often coughing up blood can be caused by irritation or inflammation post radiotherapy, you are doing the right thing by attending the hospital they will investigate and advise on any necessary treatment. It can often feel like a roller-coaster ride with all the ups and downs, this is just a set back hopefully the medical staff involved can give you an explanation of the cause, please don't loose hope.
