The info on the drug also said that if you take the blood thinner AND this medication, you could have severe bleeding! Also, Ron will start Avastin on 8/4 via infustion and THIS drug CAUSES blood clots!

As you know, Ron has had many blood clots in both legs and also a moderate sized one in one of his lungs.
Well, this new chemo pill can cause FATAL bleeding, especially if you are on blood thinners! Well, Ron has been on Lovenox since 4/21. The clots are finally resolving themselves, thank GOD and his leg pain is about GONE, at LAST!!

Ron is calling his onc first thing tomorrow morning, 8/1! We are both VERY fearful!
Please offer any advice you can and PLEASE keep us in your prayers!!
Thanks Much!
