Try not to get too far ahead of yourself with the ‘what ifs’ as it will only do your brain in! And they will probably never happen to you anyway, chemo or not.
(I was diagnosed with a heart arrhythmia a year or two back & I didn’t have chemo - but my family has a history of heart issues) and it is controlled by 1/2 a tablet, when needed. I’m in my 70s now, so I guess I should expect something to start going wonky! ….
Certain chemos ‘may’ impact the heart but it is not all of them … I’m not sure I’ve heard about bone issues tho - other than it can be where Mets may locate themselves
And we all should be on some sort of calcium tablets anyway …. As menopause is probably more likely to cause bone damage/breaks than anything …
Consider Ringing our helpline & have a chat with them about it ….. 1800 500 258 - Mon-Fri 9-5pm Xx
