Alli, you have posted in a community supporting people with an incurable blood cancer, which you thankfully don't appear to have. We don't have any particular experience in DVT treatment, sorry and our medical issues are impacted by the accompanying impact on our immune systems from our cancer.

I hope you can find support in another community.

Neil
