"My son had cancer and a chemo treatment. It caused blood clots. He was put on these injections. He had a stroke, and because he was taking these injections, he could not have the stroke buster meds. He died 4 weeks later from another stroke. He was diagnosed on Nov. 7, 2011, and died on Dec. 31, 2011. I know he could have had a better chance to live a little longer if he had been on oral blood thinners, then he could have at least been given the chance to have the stroke-busting drug."

"I have Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin Mutation, and Protein C Deficiency. Injected twice daily, subcutaneously while pregnant. Injections were taken in the abdominal area, twice daily, for the duration of pregnancy. Regular treatments were warfarin (Coumadin) while not pregnant. Needles were not very big, but left a lot of bruising because of the thin blood, but that is to be expected with any blood thinner injection. Last month of pregnancy, I used heparin injections, I was told they leave the body faster than Lovenox. Just in case of spontaneous labor."
