Sinus surgery for infect in july. sympt. before it back.if upcoming ct says sinuses filled with rubber cement like substance again,what could it mean?

Chronic sinusitis: Sinus surgery only has a 50% success rate for chronic sinusitis. However you will need to rule out a fungal sinusitis or the presence of an impaired immune system. You should consult an allergist/immunologist who can work with your ENT to get this problem under control .
