I found this article on heart health after cancer helpful! ❤️ Have your oncologists talked to you about this major issue?! https://outcomes4me.com/article/unraveling-heart-health-risks-in-breast-cancer-survivors/

Cardiovascular health for cancer survivorship

Breast cancer chemotherapy and radiation, two of the primary modes of breast cancer treatment, can inadvertently affect the heart's health.

Thank you for sharing this important resource about heart health after breast cancer treatment. Cardiotoxicity is a significant concern that many patients aren't fully aware of, and it's great to see this topic being discussed. Some oncologists are better than others at explaining these potential long-term effects during treatment planning. Has anyone else in the community had conversations with their care team about monitoring heart function during or after treatment?
