I actually was told this during my year of taking two simultaneous drugs. Cedars has a department in their Women’s Heart department that focuses on this.
(310) 423-9680 if anyone is undergoing chemo.

I have a neighbor that had lung cancer, she had chemo, about a year later she has had 2 strokes, she just turned 60 and is in not very good shape right now. I had a pace maker installed about 20 years ago, one of the wires was put in my right ventricular which has led to Pulmonary hypertension and probably heart failure. Seems like a lot of medical proceedures lead to other problems. You might say that well you got 20 years, yes,, but I didn't try something else before getting the pacer, like checking other options.
