    Hi my Husband has just come out of hospital after a weeks stay – he was diagnosed with blood clots in both lungs. I am a little annoyed as for a couple of weeks we have mentioned his breathing and shortness of breath to our oncologist and was told it was side effect of treatment. Glad I rang my Dr and asked him to check his chest for infection. He found no infection but knew his oxygen levels were low. He rang our clinic on our behalf which resulted in admission to hospital. He came home last night and has to inject himself every day to ensure no more clots. I am just a bit worried about the clots and have been reassured the body will absorb them. Has anyone else suffered similar? Also from talking to another man in hospital who was being prepared for transplant it seems there is an age cut off for this – do we know the reason – I would like to think my Husband gets the best possible treatment available.
