blood "clot" in nose

I am sharing this in case it can help someone else. After my 2nd Navelbine treatment I had a very uncomfortable scabby, bloody thing in my nose. If I blew it out it grew back very quickly. I tried letting it heal and it got bigger and bigger and felt like I had a bean in my nose.

A friend suggested I try a steptic pencil. I had immediate relief from taking the clot out and using the wetted pencil. I could breathe last night and I woke up with no clot this morning. After a week of this bean in my nose I am so grateful for it being gone.

Hope you're not all laughing at my "bean" story. It was uncomfortable. I had complained to my husband about it a bunch, but a picture is worth a 1,000 words. When he saw the actual thing he was surprised how big it was. TMI.

Happy Friday!
