Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

I had swelling in my right leg that became painful so I sought medical help. It was a suspected blood clot, but after an xray it was confirmed that it was not. I use Johnson's baby cream twice daily to massage the area. I found this very helpful.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

This situation affected me positively because it was and is a lifesaver having caught the disease early before it got advanced and also it is under surveillance.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

It saved my life!
