When people say, ‘My blood is thick’… what does that really mean? #shorts

When people say, my blood is thick, what they often mean is the body is shifting into a pro clot, pro platelet, and pro metastatic state. And that's the state that can be linked to worst outcomes because it helps cancer cells hide from your immune system and travel to other parts of the body and set up and metastasize. Platelets release a chemical signal called Thromboxane A2. It's a signal that can hit your immune system. It can reduce t cell attack. So cancer isn't just hiding behind platelets. It may also be using the platelets. Cancer cells evade the immune system. Baby aspirin can help stop the platelet cloaking and help the cancer cell get more visible and the immune system going.
