Do you know if the clot in his lung is due to deep veined thrombosis? My husband developed the condition first in one leg and then in the other after the second dose of Cisplatin. If so, a daily injection will take care of it. What I learned from the oncologist that DVT is a very common condition in cancer patients. Because my husband’s cancer metastasized, he was using the injection till the very end. The doctor at the Thrombosis Clinic forgot one time and told him to stop the injections. The oncologist nearly went through the roof when she heard it and sorted it out for us on the spot.
