Anticoagulation Support
3,818 members
The Anticoagulation Support community is for anyone impacted by a health condition such as atrial fibrillation, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), aortic heart valve replacement, antiphospholipid syndrome and thrombotic disorders. These conditions can increase the risk of blood clots or thrombosis and may require anticoagulation therapy to treat or prevent blood clots from happening. Anticoagulant therapy is sometimes described as a blood thinner and can be given for a short period of time (to prevent clots after hip and knee replacement surgery) or long term for people with thrombotic disorders to prevent recurrence of clotting episodes. Some people may be offered anticoagulation medication when they are being treated for cancer. Anyone requiring anticoagulation therapy should discuss medication options with a health care provider and be given adequate information around the duration and monitoring of the treatment provided. In the UK, there are several oral anticoagulant medications available - Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Warfarin. Heparin is given by injection. Anticoagulation Support aims to help individuals engage with people who have lived experience of living with a condition and being treated with anticoagulants. The site is moderated by HealthUnlocked with input from an anticoagulation patient expert and an anticoagulation healthcare professional. For information about anticoagulation therapy and related conditions visit.... NHS website - https://www.nhs.uk/ National Institute of Health and Care Excellence(NICE) - https://www.nice.org.uk

Cancer Journeys Foundation
380 members
The Cancer Journeys Foundation is a registered non-Profit Charity with the mission of providing cancer survivors and their supporters information, tools, and a community to create and implement cancer survivor programs. Our vision is a world where no one dies from cancer because they did not know they had the disease early enough for effective treatment or because they did not know what steps they personally could take to keep their cancer at bay. A world where every cancer survivor has the information and support they need to develop and implement their own unique self-help cancer survivor journey plan. Our goal for our community here in HealthUnlocked is to tap into the past experiences of cancer survivors and caregivers to pay it forward in helping survivors just beginning their cancer journeys. Our community leader, Robert Hess, is a 13-year prostate cancer survivor. Welcome!
