Today I had an ultrasound scan on my leg which confirmed the presence of a DVT in my lower thigh. This means three months of low molecular weight heparin by injection every day. I am awake at last on day 7 of this course. Let's hope for good news after my CT scan

Open invitation to you and your readers to participate in the Being Cancer Book Club. This month we are discussing “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch. “...the lecture he gave ... was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because “time is all you have…and you may find one day that you have less than you think”). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.”
Monday is Book Club day; Tuesday Guest Blog and Friday Cancer News Roundup.
Also check out Cancer Blog Links containing almost 200 blog links and Cancer Resources with 230 referenced sites, both divided into disease categories.
Please accept this invitation to join our growing cancer blogging community at www.beingcancer.net
Take care, Dennis
Terry,
Even though you already pretty much knew what the US would show, it is still upsetting to get the confirmation of your suspicions.
Won't you switch to warfarin or are there interactions? No shots and it's cheaper.
Let's hope this is just a bump on the road to recovery.
The CT is the more important next step.
G-d bless
Brian
I'll be praying for good news from the CT scan (much as I hate those things myself), and also for successful treatment of the DVT.
Glad you are able to be awake! But don't overdo it...
I tried to persuade the oncologists that warfarin would be more convenient, but they insist that clexane (actually Fragmin) is more effective).
