So 3 weeks after I am officially in remission and I end up carted off
to A and E in an ambulance. Diagnosed with DVT! One injection of tinzaparin later and I am sent
home with an appointment for the DVT clinic. I turn up at the DVT clinic for my
10 oclock appointment and have another test to prove I have DVT and an ultra
sound scan to show a clot in my groin and one behind my knee. I am told it is
all related to the chemo I had to treat the cancer. I am now on daily
injections for a month and I am booked in for a CT scan. This is definitely
harder to cope with than the cancer because I am so dependent on people plus it
looks friggin ‘orrid!!! The doctors have said to keep it elevated when sat and
to still keep walking but this easier said than done. It is VERY painful and
sleeping is hard work cause I can’t get comfy. I hear people say this all time
on here “ I am supposed to be grateful the cancer has gone “ and that is
exactly how Iam feeling I am supposed
to be grateful I am now cancer free but is this the start of a whole list of
treatment related problems? I don’t know if I can cope?
