How do you cope with blood clots during cancer treatment?
Community Member
6 days agoRIght now I am hospitalized with pulmonary emboli. I have completed my 7 chemotherapy infusions. I showed up today for my 27th radiation but was weak, pale and tachycardic. Evaluated immediately and sent to ER. So I am happy for the prompt lifesaving care. I have heparin infusing. Unable to sleep. Listening to classical music on Alexa. A nice feature in my hospital room.
