Blood Clot Patient Stories and Tributes
Blood clots and thrombosis affect over 10 million people globally each year, striking patients of all ages, backgrounds, and locations without warning. From deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to pulmonary embolism (PE), these life-threatening conditions impact families worldwide. On World Thrombosis Day, we share inspiring patient stories and real experiences from thrombosis survivors who overcame blood clot symptoms, complications and recovery challenges. These powerful testimonials highlight the importance of blood clot awareness, early recognition of warning signs, and prevention strategies that can save lives.
