Hello All,
Shortly after my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, they also found a pulmonary embolism. They immediately put her on Lovenox. She has been taking two shots in her belly everyday. The doctor wants her to keep on doing this. When we've mentioned that we are thinking of stopping the shots, they make us feel like it would be a HUGE mistake to do so.
We are doing BP 100% and we are haunted everyday with the fact that she is taking this medication, we are scared to death that it may be hindering the progress of the protocol or worse yet, making her condition worse.
In researching the drug online we found that it is metabolized in the liver (She has liver cancer). We don't want to strain her liver further yet at the same time we are afraid that the blood clot may also kill her....
The tumors on her liver are HUGE and we don't feel that we have the time to make any mistakes on this protocol.
I've searched past posts and only one person has ever brought up the drug and I did not see any replies to the question.
PLEASE HELP! We don't want to be harming her. We want to do whats best for her. Anyone with any knowledge of blood clots you input would be VERY much appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Christine
