I did send an email to the Radiation Oncologist and he said that this is normal for this stage. When I gargle it seems to bled quite a bit more. I look in my throat with a flashlight and can see that it's quite bloody plus lots of bloody phlegm balls come up. I have pain but not taking anything for it, I have some pills but was waiting til it got bad enough.

I guess I am just worrying.
