KarenR Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hello all, I am a patient at Dana Farber with stage IIIC adenocarcinoma with an EGFR mutation. I had 6 weeks of radiation and 3 rounds of chemo which ended on 7/29/21 and started on Tagrisso on 9/20/21. I just got back from a night at Brigham and Womens hospital in Boston due to blood clots. They had me on Heparin in the hospital and prescribed me Eloquis to take for most likely a few months. The blood clot is near my chemo port. I have a CT scheduled for next week and I am very nervous about the clots and also the contrast fluid used for the CT. Has anyone had any experience with blood clots? Thanks Best, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrisI Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 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.
