Hi there
I had my first round of chemo on the 11th March. I was admitted to hospital on the 18th as I had developed 3 clots on the lung. I am now on anticoagulant to break down said clots and hopefully prevent any further from forming.
I am a bit worried that more will form.
Just wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar?
I wasn’t aware that cancer and having chemo increases risk of clots forming. I am a 40 year old, so quite young to have had them.
thanks
Hi
I don't have the experience that you're after but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies. This is possibly because this is such a busy group that your post has slipped off the first page before someone with the right experience has seen it. Replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussions list.

Thank you, I assumed that it was because I was a one off in the unfortunate sense of going through that
