Blood Clot Experience During Cancer Treatment

Hi everyone, I’m Stacey. My initial diagnosis w/stage 3 tnbc was in 2020. I had a bi-lateral mastectomy, chemo and radiation. In May 2024, the cancer returned metastatic stage 4 same breast. This time it returned as nodules on the outside of my left breast. I’m now on Trodelvy. So far, so good. My cancer hasn’t spread to other parts of my body and my tumor markers have decreased significantly. I go for my next scans on March 10th. Besides the nausea and fatigue, I’ve been able to keep my daily living as best I can. I just found out that I now have a blood clot going down my left arm. My doctor prescribed (6-8 months) Eloquis. Have anyone experienced a blood clot while fighting? It scares me knowing it’s there and from what I learned it may be there for a long period. Any information anyone has I would greatly appreciate. Thanks
