- Well, this page is about clots, not fresh blood. Please see your own doctor, and do not ask these questions in a public forum where every crank can give you bogus advice. JFW | T@lk 08:02, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Arm Clot
I had surgery (lumpectomey w/ node removal) for breast cancer on 12/20/06. I am now in radaition treatments. Today they discovered two blood clots in my arm (the same as the side of breast cancer and node removal). They are treating me with herceptin(?) and coumadin. So many people have told me to be very careful and not break the blod clots as they could cause either a heart attack or brain anyerism(sp), both of which could be fatal.
Is this really true? Is this really that serious?

- Hmm... It is always good, when the patient tries to understand, what his MD is doing... If u doubt, that u understood ur doctor of medicine correctly (or even that he understood ur condition correctly), u should seek further counseling with ur family doctor (or if necessary with another MD)... If ur health insurance does not cover a second/third opinion, u can possibly ask the local health authority for assistance... --Homer Landskirty 18:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dehydration //Lisa McPherson
I wonder, if Virchow's triad covers dehydration as a source (maybe "composition of the blood")... Vis-a-vis L. McPherson (the scientologists say, that dehydration cannot cause thrombosis...; the attorney of a relative of McPherson says, that dehydration can cause thrombosis; the GERM wikipedia (de:Thrombose) says, that dehydration can cause thrombosis; and IIRC a paper in the seat pocket in an aircraft told me, that dehydration can cause thrombosis)... The article here does not say, if thrombosis can be caused by dehydration... at least not as clearly as I would like it... Even if it is proven, that dehydration cannot cause thrombosis, we should mention that in the article for maximum clarification... Thx. --Homer Landskirty 18:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I found this: deep venous t. -- it says clearly, that thrombosis can be caused by dehydration in combination with immobility... So I obviously misinterpreted the statement of the scientologists... --Homer Landskirty 20:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
