in Day to day
A recent ct scan a couple of weeks ago has caused a blood clot in the vein in my arm. Now injecting cloxane twice daily. Anyone else had this and how long on injections. From memory I think @melclarity had this happen.

    I  would think not too long as i think clexane would work quicker than Xarelto. I hope so! Not pleasant but you should be ok now that they're onto it. Xx

    @Molly001, lol I nearly didn't mention it to my rads oncologist. My arm had been sore for over a  week and then I could actually feel the raised vein. Ultrasound yesterday revealed a 7cm clot right above the elbow crease.

    @LMK74 I'm glad you're onto it now though. Hope it dissapates quickly.

    Gawd, Lisa, you are going to come out the other end of this with an expert subject of Shit That Can Go Wrong When Having Cancer Treatment. 

    I was a bit the same. It's not like you can help it. "Um, unseen to have a lump in my leg, it's really sore' 'Oh, you have a DVT, chemo does that to some people. Here, have some Warfarin,'  One thing after an other.
