Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I'm a tonsil cancer survivor as well but no ear bleeding. But then again I am not taking blood thinners. I have had on and off problems with inner ear infections which can rupture and have a bloody discharge - even recently (but I got on prednisone before it ruptured) and I am almost 6 years out.

Joined: May 2008 Posts: 219 | Gary, Today I saw the ENT and he said I have Thrash in my mouth, and he looked in my ear and said it looks fine now so what ever caused it has cleared up. The RO said I must have done something to have caused the bleeding like scratching my ear. Also I had a big blister to come up on the back of my ear and that was due to radiation. I am fair complected so I assume rads can be a little unkind to those of us with fair skin. Thanks, Angel
