Thanks for the hug...

My latest is a "Deep Vein Thrombosis" on my right arm.

How it could be "Deep Vein" is a mystery. It's on the surface from my shoulder to my wrist, no pain, but it feels like pressing on a thin rope.

Anyway, I'm now on a blood thinner, with hopes that the clot will safely un-clot.

I got lucky during Chemo #3 infusion on Wednesday.

I had forgotten the bulging vein and had almost forgot to mention it.

A nurse came in and spent at least 15 minutes with some kind of sonic detector scanning the entire length of the vein. Weird noises from that device, but it did its' job.
