Connie B Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Well it's no shock to me that cancer drugs are hazardous to our hearts. In Cure Magazine that just came out, there is a wonderful article on: Hazardous to Your Heart: Protecting the heart from toxic side effects of cancer threapy. It's really a good article. I haven't looked yet but it may even be online under www.curetoday.com Just wanted to share this with everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Just got home from work and found the "Cure" magazine, will read it this evening. I don't dought it though, traditional chemo is toxic not only to cancer but to all body cells, so they walk a fine line giving to us. They give enough to hopefully kill the cancer cells and not too many normal cells. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 What actually killed Lucie was congestive heart failure from all the chemo. But, I wouldn't have changed a thing. The chemos she had, gave her 3 more years than she might have had. Also, she passed peacefully. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Read the magazine and of course one on the chemo's they mention causing these problems was Cisplatin, which I had 2 rounds of ( one before surgery and one after) I already know I have neuropathy from it but I also am alive nearly 10 yrs later!Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
