  1. In my opinion hairy cell leukemia cause bleeding which should normaly clot , instead of trying to avoid cloting you should try stop the bleeding ,
    Belly pain could be from enlaged spleen
    Consider splenectomy
    And why haven’t he started chemo , this type of leukemia can easly progress to other types of cancer

    Sorry I was not of help
    But plan of treatment does not seem enough

    Good Luck

  2. hi
    get a usg of abdomen / Ct abdomen with contrast.
    he needs to get his bleeding time,clotting time checked for any variations in the normal levels.
    depending upon these reports,warfarin doses can be adjusted.
    thanks

  3. HI
    DERANGEMENTS IN BLEEDING AND CLOTTING TENDENCIES SEEM TO HAVE OCCURED .
    GET HIS PROTHROMBIN TIME AND INR DONE.
    ADJUST THE DOSES OF MEDICINES THAT HE HAS BEEN TAKING (WARFARIN AND ENOXAPRIN)
    LEUKEMIA NEEDS A MORE AGRESSIVE TREATMENT.
    CONSULT HEMATOLOGIST

  4. hello there
    leukemia ,of any type needs chemotherapy.
    only taking medicines will not be of help.
    get BT,CT and PT checked.
    consult a hematology specialist.
    take care
