Hi everyone. I am a new member of this wonderful group. I have been reading your posts hoping to find something about this. Over the weekend my left upper shoulder, chest, arm, and hand have swollen like a ballon animal. I called the dr over the weekend and he suspected it might be a blood clot.
So, long story short, I had an ultasound today and it was confirmed. Has anyone gone through this? What did you do? Somehave said something about blood thinners, but I haven't yet spoken to the dr.

Any thoughts or comments would be really appreciated.

Karen

    Hi Karen and welcome to the
    Hi Karen and welcome to the club no one wants to join. But, you are surrounded by wonderful pinks sisters with a wealth of information for you. Unfortunately, I don't know about this as I didn't have chemo.

    I am sure other pink sisters will post to you with some info.


    Good luck and Welcome!
