I have emphysema last year I have fluid in the lung then cancer couple of days after op had blood clots 1 in each lung knew nothing only hard to breath drain was taken out after 7 months stopped blood thinners the fluid had done damage to lung but thought back to normal life
December 18th in hospital they said blood clot scan tomo thought great home next day that evening did a cough tiny bit of blood you could just see nurse said it's nothing don't worry 15 mins later it looks like a horror movie I am covered In blood so is the bed they pulled all the other curtain on the ward and got a doc from high depen then bloke with red bag came and to that ward we went they did not expect me to leave I was well enough 12 days later for a scan I have loads of blood clots nothing as moved it feels the size of a tennis ball the top part of my lung is now dead and will not come back the clots have also damaged the right side of my heart now I am in another hospital now closer to home 4 weeks in hospital and I still cant walk no idea how long before home
So blood clot are can be very dangerous dont think they are nothing as I used to think I was just so lucky after op

How awful for you. What a nightmare. I'm sorry to read what trials you have been through. Hopefully now they will have a handle on things and you will be much better. Best wishes to you and I hope you recover and can go home soon.
It's really not a moan! It sounds like you've been through a horrible time. I hope now that you've been properly diagnosed and treated things will start to improve and you'll start to make a recovery. Wishing you all the best and hoping it won't be too long before you can go home.
It must be really worrying for you, I hope you improve soon and can go home. Please try to stay positive I know that easy for me to say, but please try. Thinking of you, have a good day and take care of yourself 😊 Bernadette xx
Omg Yousaok what a nightmare for you. Is there nothing they can do for these blood clots that you have? I thought they could dissolve them with an injection . Well lets hope you are now back on the road to recovery and you can learn to walk again. Do you have family that come to see you? Its a long day in hospital and you need company. Wish you all the very best x
