My cancer was found because I had blood clots in my legs, one very close to my femoral artery. They also discovered a pulmonary embolism and the nodule in my right lung that led to my cancer diagnosis. I was placed on Eloquis, but after 3 weeks they discovered a new pulmonary embolism in my left lung. My doctor was shocked that I had a break through embolism while on blood thinners, I am now on Enoxoparin, a twice daily injection and have had no issues.
