Good morning all, I was diagnosed with a DVT yesterday, feeling in shock, has anyone else this problem and can you give any advice. I haven’t yet started chemotherapy should be in about two weeks
thank you
Hi aqubee
A very warm welcome to you.
I am sorry to hear you have a DVT on top of everything else you are going through. Although I have no direct experience of this, can i suggest you click on 'Ask an Expert' as you will be able to ask a Nurse who will be able to advise. Also, if you have a Macmillan nurse specialist they should be able to help too. Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.
All the best
