Hi there @Dee8855...welcome to the group nobody thought they'd join. I had chemo and surgery in 2016/7 and although I wasn't diabetic at that time, I did have (and still do) a blood clotting disorder which had me on blood thinners (warfarin), which had to be changed to an injectable one...clexane. I was also on a few other medications to control my autoimmune conditions, and these were stopped except for my prednisolone. My medical team worked with each other to manage my situation, and when chemo and surgery were finished, I went back onto my old regime. I'm on a hormone suppressor(letrozole) and have been since 2017. I now also have steroid induced diabetes and take forxiga and gliclazide for that. Hopefully your medical team will all work with each other with your care.
