Even after reading the entire article there is something not sensical here.

How can there be thrombosis risk 3 months after diagnosis... diagnosis isn’t some magical date when you got the cancer.

Why is it 3 months after DIAGNOSIS?

A better question might be, what medications or treatments is everyone given immediately after DIAGNOSIS that may be causing this 3 months or more later?

Because a person might have had cancer for a week or for YEARS before DIAGNOSIS.

It even mentions that cancer treatments increase risk of blood clots but the entire meat of it just glossed over WHY they actually think certain blood types are vulnerable separate from the treatment risks.

I can answer that question based on my experience: The clot tends to form around the port or PICC line used for chemo infusions. And, yes, it happened to me about 3 months after diagnosis.
