Blood clots

Living with secondary breast cancer Triple negative secondary breast cancer

Soooo, Little Miss Smug-I-don’t-worry-about-scan-results has had a bit of a surprise. I had a scan on Tuesday and a call on Thursday to say the CT scan had spotted a blood clot close to a kidney and I need to go on blood thinners immediately. I’ve opted for the tablets rather than the injections for now (

can’t be that urgent as they didn’t deliver them as promised).

It’s the first tangible thing to come from a CT scan in 2 years (typically, the week after my oncologist left - HE should have delivered the news lol). Does anyone have any experience/advice for me please?

Hi Jaybro,

They found blood clots in my lungs after one of my routine CT scans in April 2021.

I have been on blood thinner tablets since then. I was on Fragmin injections for a short while then my oncologist changed it to Edoxaban tablets.

I have had no ill effects and I’m doing OK.

Good luck with your treatment.
