“Blood work?”
I had to have a second lot of bloods done and it can back with high levels of d- dimmer so they sent me for a scan of my legs and veins. It was said to me there was no clots. But now I am worried why it is high.

It means you are still at risk for forming clot. You should stay on blood thinners
Patients with cancer have higher levels of d-dimer. If the d-dimer test is greater than four times normal it does strongly suggest blood clots. You need a CT chest to rule out blood clots in the lung although that is less likely without clots in the legs.
