Hey, thanks for checking back, @Magiver , I appreciate it.

- As far as the clot, my status is what I wrote in post [253](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/foot-injury-advice-it-s-a-blood-clot/970446/253), except now I have an appointment on 10/31 with a hematologist to determine clot origin / how long I need to take blood thinners. I have another appointment with my new PCP in mid November to check back. Basically I’m stable for now. I check myself with an oximeter if I feel kinda breathless, it’s all been good. And I, without fail, take my blood thinners daily with something a little fatty (cheese lately). Blood thinners are my lot now.

- As far as the cancer, I updated my [prostate cancer thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-i-have-prostate-cancer/804035/129), but basically they’re going to test me again in December and see if the cancer is progressing.
