I’m always asking my mum about the colour of the phlegm that she brings up each day. She brings up a ton of it each day and yellowing or sightly brown means the sign of an infection brewing which is a big thing for her. Usually means a trip to the hospital or anti-biotics at a minimum. Amazing what spit or phlegm can show and it so makes sense to me that in time it may possibly be used to detect signs or disease or at least warrant further investigation. If stuff can be found through urine and blood then why not spit, phlegm etc?

Thanks for that Marion, very interesting. Would be so good if saliva was shown to show early or indeed any signs of cancer or other diseases too. Would make everything so much quicker and easier etc. Thanks!

Hi Erin,

Welcome to the site. Sorry that you had to find us all here and I am sorry to hear about your MIL. But glad that you have joined in with us all as you are in the best place for support and help and you will get loads of both from everyone here. Glad as well that you have been reading as the better informed you are the better equipped you will be in helping with your MIL. If you have questions then please just ask and we’ll do wwhat we can to help.

I would have thought that your MIL’s doctor who placed the plastic stent scheduled a follow up meeting in Feb as plastic stents can last around 3 months or so before clogging can be an issue so that is my guess as to why a meeting was set for Feb. I agree with Marion and Lainy in that contacting the doc soon is a very good idea to discuss this stent issue.

You are not being naive at all in what you say here so please do not think that! When a stent starts to work as it should the patient will feel much better. My dad had a metal stent inserted and once his started to work after his diagnosis he felt so much better. I hope that things are just taking time here for the stent to wrok for your MIL as that can be the case. But if things do not improve then I would get in touch with the doctor about this.

You are doing the right thing in coming here. You are not alone in this now, we are here for you and we care. Please keep coming back and let us know how everything goes.

My best wishes to you and your MIL,

Gavin
