      Good morning, Mike! Oh geez, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Sorry to hear you have some bleeding issues happening. Certain heart meds and pain relief meds contain blood thinning ingredients. Could that perhaps be the source of the bleeding? If it’s something non-prescription like aspirin, just stop taking it until the bleeding slows down. If it’s a prescription med, give your doc a call.

        I think Naproxen may be the one of the culprits. Stop taking it for a few days and see if that helps..

      Hi Mike, I’d call Dr. Hamid’s office and talk to them about it. If it’s looking diluted, there’s probably a lot of just cellular fluid from the tumor coming out the hole, which probably isn’t a big deal. Tumors don’t like to “heal” like healthy tissue does. They may just have you put a pressure bandage on it for a couple of days and see if it stops. Anyway, I’d give them a call and I’m sure they’ll give you some help. Dave

        Thanks Linny and Dave, iv left a couple messages already with the dr who did the biopsy so, im sure the Naproxens have alot to do with plus what Dave said, Tumor juice, and another thing i may have learned years back, the numbing agent tends to slow down proper coagulation within the bloods proteins or whatever…the nurses must be BUSY today!! …..thanks guys…

        Finally got a call from nurse, its normal for it to leak, if it gets worse of course ill go see them or call on Monday, like you guys said, Tumor tissue isnt gunna heal and coagulate like healthy tissue so, its just a PAIN in the side! (Ass) Plus im stuck between taking my Naproxen for the pain versus not taking them because of blood thining! Aaahhhg!
