Scan

Just wanted to post a short update on Pam's latest scan she had on Tuesday.

She was at HSC at 9am for the test and it went fine, but the radiologist reviewing the films was quickly on the phone to Pam's doctor as he had spotted two blood clots in her lungs. The clots are treatable with blood thinners so we got back to Cancercare pronto and Pam had her first daily injection of a week's worth. The doctor also discontinued her Tamoxifen as it can contribute to clotting. He will be prescribing another drug therapy in its place.

Very glad that Pam happened to have her scan that day. She had been a bit shorter of breath than usual on the weekend but we really didn't think anything of it. Once the clots are cleared that should improve, and we are very thankful and lucky that the scan was scheduled when it was, and that the radiologist was on the ball.
