Thank you very much for contacting us with your concerns today.
I am terribly sorry to hear about your recent journey with sarcoma. I hope that the DOX chemotherapy was not too bad and that you are in good spirit (as much as you can be). Regarding the swelling, a blood clot does not usually cause a lump although it can cause swelling in the leg. If in doubt, the best way to visualize a clot is with an ultrasound of the veins of your legs.
I hope this helps and if you need to discuss further with me over video, please let us know and I would be glad to help you out. Have a blessed day.
