Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I wish to reassure you that there is no need to worry, and most problems in the brain can be treated well with medications.
Blood clots in brain are usually due to clotting in the brain veins or arteries, and both respond very well to medications.
In your case, any MRI or CT scan of the brain has been done or not? If done, what did the report show? if you can tell me that, I can guide you better.
Wishing you good health,

Thank you for getting back.
Blood clots in the brain are not related to cancer, but they are due to clotting of blood in brain veins or arteries.
They respond very well to treatment.
So there is no need to worry.

The side effects of chemotherapy depends on the drug used. Most drugs used today are safe and do not cause hair loss.
If you know the name of the chemo agent, I can provide more information.
