Does anyone have any info on breast cancer radiation effect on aortic mechanical valve and coumadin???? Please offer anything known as I can't locate it anywhere. Thx
Thanks Al and THANKS for the welcome back..yes..I am the original zipper and others have used it with add-ons. I will talk to my Cardi on Monday before starting treatment. I'm lucky...caught early..no chemo needed...radiation daily for x# of weeks and then adjunctive therapy with hormone blocking pill for 5 years. I'm hoping someone here has personal info as we know..EVERYTHING affects coumadin but I'm more concerned with the radiation. I appreciate your help Al..hope you're doing well.
Hon they are out there, they just haven't replied. You are not alone!
Hi Zipper ~ I just want to pop in and welcome you back and wish you all the luck in the world. My west coast sister just went through BC and is doing very well these days. Yes, we do have member/s who have mechanical valves and then get BC -- doesn't seem fair, does it - to get two big Kahunas!
I have not had my aortic valve replace yet. I had breast cancer in 2007 and had lumpectomy, radiation and I am now on tamoxifen. If you are on anti-coagulant medication they do not recommend tamoxifen. I do know that chemotherapy can affect the heart.
