Hello- It's been a while since I posted. Had dx lymphoma of AA about 4 years ago and got ATG 3 years ago with no success. Couldn't tolerate IST meds but have slowly improved in last 1 1/2 years to have mostly normal lifestyle and blood numbers. HG 11-12, RBC 3, and PLT 70. No medication required and active lifestyle for 71 year old.
Last month I felt sluggish and feverish and went to doctor. He found blood clot in lung and pneumonia and a week later a second clot in leg. I'm now on Coumadin to thin the blood and prevent more blood clots. I was surprised to find that I developed clots with PLT count of 70.
I now read that a history of lymphoma and/or AA increases our risk of clots, strokes and heart attacks. Has anyone else had a related illness since or during AA? I guess I sort of thought that if I dodged a freight train, I couldn't get run over by a car ;-(
Thanks,
Flyguy-- Ron
