Just diagnosed with Ductal invasive cancer . Told of her2 need chemo. Already have left bundle branch block of heart worried chemo will affect this. Anyone on chemo had heart problems before ?
A warm welcome to our forum though I am sorry to hear you have just been diagnosed with ductal invasive cancer and I hope that you will meet other ladies on our forum who have been diagnosed with the same type of cancer and who have been through chemotherapy. Naughtyboob for example posted this thread over a year ago but found herself in a similar place and actually I just noticed she mentioned in a response in her thread something about her chemotherapy treatment being changed at the time after the oncologist found out a family history of heart issues - don't hesitate to respond to this member's thread and I hope that you will be able to connect with other ladies who have had a similar diagnosis and treatment plan. I would if I were you make sure that your oncologist is fully aware of your heart problems and make sure you tell them all the details of these heart issues so that they can adapt the treatment if needed.
Don't hesitate also to ring our nurse helpline on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you have any questions or simply wanted to talk things through with them. There are so many questions sometimes racing through our minds after a diagnosis and our friendly nurses are there for you anytime you have the slightest doubt about anything or wanted to ask any kind of advice. They are available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I will now let our members who have been through something similar before come and say hello and tell you more about their own story.
Best wishes and I hope that your treatment will go well,
