Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Matt your wife’s problems seem to be similar to what Janet is experiencing. We have an appointment with Physical Therapy today and will be seeing her onc team later. I’m going to ask for a Lyrica Rx and we’ll see if that helps. Thanks again. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Hi Iowagirl. Sorry to hear about your problems with blood clots. My wife was diagnosed with CC due to blood clots. The tumors were causing the clots in both legs and she wound up in the hospital with PE’s in her lungs. She was on Coumadin to start but that didn’t work for her at all. Didn’t even slow them down. The Drs put her on Lovenox which is administered by shot once or twice a day in the stomache. She did two shots a day for the first 4 months but has been on one a day since then. She was diagnosed in September of 2013. She also had a filter implaced in Vena Cava to trap any clots that formed in her legs before they were able to travel to her lungs. Since starting the Lovenox she hasn’t had any more issues with clots but it looks like she’s on Lovenox for the long haul.
Hope that helps and I hope you’re feeling much better soon.
Thanks for taking the time to replyt Marion. The info about Trousseau’s syndrome is very interesting…gave me a new ave for research and something to talk to the Dr. about.
