Hi! I feel bad for even being scared about such trivial numbers, but the brain fears what the brain fears.

Blood cell counts are within normal range and what not.

I'm a 27F and we suspect I previously had a clot on my portal vein sometime between 2020 & 2025, as my left lobe is atrophied (and not regrowing) but there is currently no evidence of a clot remaining.

I know that under 1% is so low, but that's still like a 150% increase in 6 months.

My hematologist has made no mention of CHIPs and I think I read I maybe don't count yet because it's so low?

Besides just having general anxiety over this as a concept still, my main question is should my d-dimer be checked regularly?

Otherwise, I dunno. Talk to me oh wise and troubled friends.

Why do data breaches matter? What happens if ~foreign governments~ or ~spies~ steal the information? How do the effects differ from like a Facebook breach to like a school district breach or whatever? A lot of the techy people I know cite this as being why they won't take a DNA test such as 23+Me. How is that related? What happens in that case?

TIA!

How would you tackle a set if you only have a minute?
