hello again, my dad has had his trach for about a year now.. he first had it put in for chemo/rad treatments, and then he ended up having his surgery on December 7, 2010.. sometimes when he tries to cough up mucus, it is a pinkish color, maybe a sign of strain or blood.. has anyone experienced this? i spoke with his ENT today about his swelling not knowing that he had the pinkish flem.. thank you all so much, again!

concerned daughter,
nicki
