Hi all, has anyone had pulmonary embolisms post chemo? How long did the tiredness continue? I have had 3 small emboli in the week after my last AC treatment. thanks

scosue Thankyou for starting this important conversation. While we wait for others to share their own lived experience, we thought you may find the below resources useful:
BCNA provides extensive information on chemotherapy side effects, although pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of those rarer side effects we don't have detailed information on. However, you may still like to explore BCNA’s chemotherapy side effects page here
Understanding Chemotherapy Booklet (Cancer Council)
This guide explains chemotherapy’s effects and side effects, again it does not specifically mention pulmonary embolism. It does advise patients to report any unusual symptoms and to stay informed about risks associated with treatment View the booklet
Please feel free to contact BCNA's Helpline 1800 500 258 if we can assist further.
Thanks Mez, will look it those resources.
Think the cause of PE is difficult to determine, and also hard to determine what are chemo side effects vs the PE tiredness.
Think I have to learn some patience!
