Hi Karen, Sometimes I have just some blood in the mucus which is totally normal with BE. But usually I do not have any and it will clear up. On other very rare occasions I will cough up pure blood. The amount is usually a tablespoon or two or even three? Then for a day or so I may continue to cough up some blood mixed with my mucus during airway clearance. Then it clears up. I might double up on my K2 vitamin and/or take less or stop anything that thins the blood. But it just resolves on its own. At first it scared me. Now I know it is part of the disease and not too worry. It is not pleasant and always unwelcome but it no longer gives me anxiety.
