At MD Anderson today with Garrick to see Cardiovascular Surgeon. After discussing the clot busting procedure with the doctor we all decided I am going to try to manage the pain for the next 2 weeks and hope for improvements. The procedure risks are bleeding in the brain and you also have to stay in the ICU after the procedure. If things do not get better we discussed moving the location of my port. My clot goes from about 3-4 inches above my elbow area to all the way to the port which is in my right upper chest area. Hoping after another few weeks of my daily blood thinner injections it will begin to improve. We are also adding Celebrex back in and I am hoping it will help with the inflammation.
