Anne...

I am so sorry about your mother and yes, she will be in my prayers. Yes, my onc nurse told me that cancer patients are more prone to clots. During radiation, my one leg was swollen so they had an ultrasound done to check for clotting...it was ok, but my nurse is ALWAYS telling us that we will have to be careful of clots. Do they have her on Coumadin (blood thinner to break up the clots)? Was it a mild or severe stroke? My father had several due to the irrepairable blockage in his heart. Take care and God bless.

Rhonda
