On the trach subject, I noticed the past couple of weeks, that something kind of popped up on my trach scar...hard to describe, sort of like a swirly looking bump, but it had pus in it. I had my throat scoped three weeks ago cuz I was feeling a little tightness and that came out fine. After that I notice this swirly bump on the trach scar getting bigger and feeling sore, I saw my Oncologist and oral surgeon yesterday and they had it removed and are doing a biopsy on it. They both thought it looked like an abscess, possibly from leftover stitches from surgery...I am hoping and praying that is all it is. I go back next Tuesday to have the new stitches taken out and get the results of biopsy. Has anyone else had this experience? Thanks
