Is cancer my next battle? after stroke, dvt, p.e. i have prothrombin gene mutation g20210a. i'm currently cancer free but what are my odds?

Why do you ask?: You have given me no reason to believe that you have cancer. The cancer that's most famous for causing thrombi -- common pancreatic cancer -- would be very rare at you age of 29. I suspect you have some additional unknown cause of hypercoagulable blood and need to stay under the care of a good hematologist. If you do develop a mass or new symptoms, get seen, but don't let fear ruin your life now.
