Blood clots after BC

Options

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area:(

just wondering if anyone has had PE's or DVT's caused by cancer reoccurrence or from tamoxifen?

I am a breast cancer survivor of eight years - bilateral mastectomies - chemo - radiation - tamoxifen for five years - off tamoxifen for one year - back on for six months as onc said 10 years was better..... Off tamoxifen now.....

In oct 2013 I developed a deep vein thrombosis in my left leg - one week later I developed multiple pulmonary emboli in both lungs - I have been in the hospital on and off for weeks at a time over the last 3 months - on crazy high dose blood thinners because I keep developing more clots in my lungs....

My drs are all convinced my cancer is back and making these clots - but after every freaking test they can run , pet scan, 6 chest ct's, 2 abdominal ct's, brain ct's, bone scans, xrays, ultra sounds - they just can't find the cancer or any cancer - but they are not convinced...... I have had so much radiation in the last 3 months that I probably glow in the dark..... anyway out of all of the tests the only thing that comes back is my tumor markers - which is through the roof............

Just wondering if anyone has had the same thing happen after surviving breast cancer? What was the cause? Was your cancer back?

It's freaking scary - surviving cancer was scary enough - but now with these blood clots I could be just dead if things are not figured out soon.....
