Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well and feeling the best that you can be!
So tonight something very weird happened, and has happened a few times since the first incident.
I've had a slight cough (my daughter has a slight cold, so I probably caught it from her), and a sore throat - nothing bad enough to take throat lozenges or anything - just an annoyance really.
All of a sudden I felt a big lump in the bottom of my throat, and as I 'worked it up' towards my mouth, and (sorry this is gross and TMI) spat it out into a tissue, it was a HUGE blood clot, Hard, and the size of about one and a half 50c pieces put together. There was no streaking of blood or anything, just this massive blood clot. Since then I've had 2 more, of the same consistency, but not as large. Very dark in colour, but quite clearly blood.
Has anyone else experienced this while going through cancer treatment or while having cancer? I'm a little worried, as on Wednesday my regime gets increased AGAIN, and they're putting me in isolation to administer it. I also have to have a full body scan to check if there are any other small nasties they have missed.
The cocktail I am on at present is: Taxol, Carboplatin, Herceptin, and Doxorubicin. - Weekly doses of all of them, but the Doxorubicin is being increased this Wednesday before my surgery on Friday.
Any ideas anyone?
Stay strong,
Joanna xo
