13Blood Clots
As many as 20 percent of cancer patients get blood clots in various parts of their bodies. Experts note that tissue damage caused by some cancers might trigger the blood clotting process. Also, chemotherapy inflames blood vessels and veins, clogging the blood with dead cancer cells.
Blood clots don’t always land you in the hospital. So it’s advisable to be observant of your body all the time. Any person with cancer can develop blood clots. However, certain kinds of cancer like lung cancer or pancreatic cancer increase the risk of this occurrence.
