Thank you so much for your post. I find comfort in it. The only thing I can’t seem to get over is the fear no matter how many time I see the blood. Usually it’s an 1/8 of a cup and quite bright red. But you are right in that it has to be accepted because I can’t change it. Where this really controls my life is that I rarely go out and do anything. Mostly that’s because I cough up mucus a good deal of the time and of course I never know when it will be blood so I just don’t want to be in public. I am not sure what I can do about that issue.
