Well it looks like a bit more than just a speedhump unfortunately. I ended up in hospital Sunday having had shortness of breath and dizziness early that morning. After spending most of the day at St Vs and fainting in the triage waiting room, which got me fast tracked into the emergency centre itself, they finally informed me that my chest scan has shown some small blood clots in both lungs so I have officially got Pulminary Embolism (clots on the lungs). I was fortunately able to go home as the clots aren't large but the Doctor there told me to immediately seek advice from my Oncologist as to ongoing treatment. I was sent home from St Vs with instructions to have two Clexane needles a day, morning and night, until advised otherwise. Bugger! One was bad enough. Well we all do what we have to do don't we. I'm a bit nervous about the danger of having blood clots in my lungs. One of my Plastic Surgeons rang this morning to see how I was overnight and he told me that if I experience laboured breath at all to get to emergency straight away. Am I living with a ticking time bomb now? Thought I'd got rid of that with the cancer. Sigh!
