I would certainly like to see research like that LucyE. Like you my heart has been damaged by ACT chemo and now I'm told the cardiomyopathy is not likely to improve any further and they are just trying to slow its progress. Before treatment I was a fit, healthy busy mum of 4. I worked 4 days a week and had plenty of energy in a very sporty household. Now I've been pushed into early menopause, I feel about 80, struggle to work 3 days a week, don't have much energy and require 12 tablets of one thing or another daily to keep cancer and my heart issues at bay. I think this problem may be under reported as many of the people being treated are in an age bracket where heart problems would be put down to age rather than treatment. I didn't exercise during treatment but I really wish now I had. I know that there is a developing field called oncocardiology so maybe the research is already underway. Here's hoping anyway.
