21 hours agoEveryone please pray for me. I just finished chemoradiation for my Stage 3 NSCLC. But ended up in the hospital with blood clots in my leg and a few in my lungs. I am shome on blood thinners, but get short of breathe walking a few steps and my heart races. On top of that, my 96 year old roommate is having heart issues. I am so frightened right now for both of us.

16 hours agoDealing with blood clots after cancer treatment can be incredibly challenging, and it's completely understandable to feel frightened during this difficult time. Many patients experience similar complications after chemoradiation, and while blood thinners are an important part of managing clots, the symptoms can still be concerning - connecting with your medical team about your breathing difficulties and heart rate changes will be essential for getting the right support and monitoring during your recovery.
