Is there an early way to detect blood clots?

I had a clot discovered in my lung after getting a CT and after several rounds of chemo. I was told both the chemo and PC can cause clots. I was put on Eliquis 5 mg twice a day. Probably for the rest of my life now after surgery. Once the clot was discovered they called me and had me go immediately to the ER, which I just happen to be walking past when they called!

I also had a small pulmonary embolism discovered in a CT scan during my folfirinox treatment. I have been on Eliquis 5mg twice per day since with no further problems. I did have large bilateral pulmonary embolism’s in 2019 that I was hospitalized for which they believe was related to my diagnosis of clear cell renal carcinoma. I had my right kidney removed and required no further treatment for the kidney cancer and had no other blood clots until last fall during my chemo treatment. I have had no side effects from the Eliquis.
