Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have some clotting diorder or clotting tendency. So there is blood clot. It may be due to cancer or other disorder. So she should search the cause. For blood clot she should take heparin injection. Later on she should take warferin for long time. These all are prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
