| Query | I finished 6
rounds of taxol/carboplatin on 8/21. Doctor prescribed a ct scan before I am
to visit him on 9/11. Had ct scan on 9/5. The ct scan showed two very large
blood clots in my vein - one above belly button and other below. I was
entered into hospital immediately on 9/5 where they put in a Vena Cava
Filter through vein in my neck. I was given Heprin to thin blood and one
pill (5 gm) of Coumadin once a day. I was released today. I had ovarian
cancer - Stage 3C - Clear Cell which I am in remission (hallelujah)....
Question is: Has anyone had blood clots formed with your cancer? Thanks for
any information.
Blood clots can occur in cancer patient, and also in many other conditions.
In my opinion other your treatment is o. k. and Heparin and Dicoumeral are
the
drugs to be prescribed in this condition. You should have your PTT checked
monthly.
I am yet to see a patient with thrombosis in cancer ovary but thrombosis are
quite common in Renal cell cancer.

Dear Sir, Good morning, I would kindly request your advice
regarding the condition of my wife who is currently being diagonised for
suspected
pancreatic dis-order. She was initially suffering from obstructive jaundice.
PTBD was carried out. Metallic stenting has been done. CT scan results are
normal, however, the CA 19.9 result shows value as 1448.41 u/ml. The doctors
are advising for radio-therapy in India. Kindly advice if this value is high
and what should be the line of treatment. Kind regards and thankning you,
A.K. Panda, Mumbai... A. K. Panda
Whatever clinical data you provided,it seems she is suffering from
Pancreatic malignancy,particularly in view of very high CA 19.9. To decide
the further line of treatment,it is mandatory to examinethe patient.
Chemotherapy with/without radiotherapy will probably be the next line of
therapy.
Thanks
Dr. S.K. Ghosh
