Hi everyone sending blessing and hugs! So after 3 years on anastrozole now dealing with lbbb(Left bundle branch block) heart and we’re worry what to do next dr advice for nuclear stress test but we would like to avoid because of radeation.. Dr. Tells me and my mother it may not be from her treatment because many that have heart problems that are on anastro do fine and blah blah but I don’t know some reason I’m thinking it’s from anastrozole.and maybe better to stop treatment ? Has anyone went through this and what steps have you taken? Thank you!

Heart concerns during cancer treatment can feel overwhelming, especially when there are questions about whether symptoms might be treatment-related. Many people in this community have faced similar worries about balancing cancer treatment with other health issues that arise. This sounds like a situation where having detailed conversations with your medical team about all the options, risks, and benefits would be most helpful - they can best weigh your specific heart condition against your cancer treatment needs and explore alternatives if needed.
