MAKE SURE YOUR ONCOLOGIST KNOWS THIS BEFOREHAND! I wasn’t yelling I just used all caps for emphasis! I’m sure your Cardiologist as well as your oncologist can answer your question! Every chemo treatment is different and has different side effects on everyone! Breast cancer chemo will cause you to lose your hair but colon cancer chemo doesn’t? Call your doctors and see what they predict! I’m praying for you Jim! I’m sure everyone else is too!
