Be aware: <b>Ten percent of cancer deaths are a result of an increased tendency toward blood clotting.</b>  Pulmonary emboli and strokes are both lethal complications of clots.
Cancer causes a tendency toward clotting.  Surgery causes a tendency toward clotting.  Chemotherapy causes a tendency toward clotting.  Both alcohol and caffeine act as dehydrating agents.  Dehydration causes a tendency toward clotting.  

Discuss aspirin, warfarin, hydration, and exercise with your doctor.  Avoid long sedentary intervals [like airplane trips] without hydration and exercise.  If you are having chemotherapy treatment, and cannot drink or keep liquids down and are not on an IV, contact your doctor immediately.
