Chop Chemo/Heart Problems

Subject: CHOP chemo/heart problems
Date: 02/16/2008
I was diagnosed with mediastinal diffuse B cell NHL stage 2B in 1999 and have been cancer-free since completing chemoradiation.  I was treated with CHOP and then 21 cycles of radiation. I have done a little research and have seen that heart problems can occur from both adriamycin and radiation treatment.  Has anyone heard of or had heart complications like this following CHOP? Or how about breast cancer? Is anyone familiar with MUGA scan to evaluate for heart/cardiovascular problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello:  inreply to your message about heart problems after chops, yes it does cause this, but you will need to see a heart doctor and he will give medicine to make you feel better.  If i can be of any more help please do not hesitate to write!!!
