An elderly relative told me today she has blood clots in her lung, 1 biggish one and 2 or 3 small ones.
She said that they can't be treated because her blood is too thin, not sure if this is a result of the steroids and a whole load of other medication she is on.
I've googled and googled but all I'm getting is how to treat them, nothing about why they can't be.
I always though clots could be treated, but relative says the dr said nothing can be done for her and it's just a matter of time
Does anyone know anything about clots? I'm devastated, she's not my mum but I'm very close to her, and I really don't want to accept that she may die soon.
