@Siewli I didnt know I had blood clots during chemo. It was after chemo when I couldnt shake a cough for 10 weeks and had terrible shortness of breath it was diagnosed after many many tests and scans. I started the clexane needles before radiation treatment, had radiation treatment continued on with cleaxane needles and then had blood thinning tablets after that. All the treatment worked as the blood clots are now gone and I have finished taking the tablets. Hope all goes well. I just did what the doctors told me to do even though I felt like a pin cushion and was black and blue for months.
