Hi her2 friends,
First, thanks for your input on Herceptin/Ixempra and Herceptin/Doxil; I did choose the Ixempra mainly because I was still a litle nervous of cardio risk form Herceptin/Doxil

Well, the next scary thing that happened was an ultrasound showed I have a BLOOD CLOT at the portal vein that feeds in the liver! What kind of symptoms might I expect? (Bleeding) I was just started on anti-clotting injections daily. I do not know any bc survivor with this condition. Has anyone had a blood clot like this? What kind of symptoms (if any) did it cause? How was it treated?
