is brain clot curable - #12660
I am worried because my dad just got diagnosed with what they called a brain clot, and honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it. He’s 68 and was feeling fine until he suddenly had this weird headache and trouble speaking. They did some scans at the hospital and confirmed the brain clot. The doc said it was a “thrombus” but didn’t say much about what this means for him long-term. I’m just trying to figure out, is brain clot curable? It sounds super scary, like something that can change everything in a heartbeat. I mean, we’re all worried about how his quality of life could change. They said there are treatments, but I’ve heard some things about how they can be risky, and it feels confusing. Some people say surgery might be an option, but is that even always the right call? I’m just trying to get a handle on what options we really have. Can lifestyle changes even help, or is it really more about what the doctors do? Is brain clot curable, like can he get back to his old self? I’m just scared and want to make sure we understand everything possible.
