Hi All,
Did anyone have superficial thrombosis after chemotherapy? That is blood clots in a "superficial" vein, which I guess means it is not a major vein. About 10 days after CHOP + Rituxan chemotherapy in the arm in which I had received the chemo, fom the wrist to the biceps was swollen, red, warm to the touch and sensitive. Ultrasound led to the diagnosis of superficial thrombosis.
The oncologist was quite cool about it and told me to apply hot water compresses several times a day. That helped somewhat. But a month after the treatment I have areas on my wrist and forearm which are red, swollen and sensitive. Would like to learn anyone's experience
Thanks, Irv
