Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that some of anti cancer drugs do effect your cardiac health . It’s recommended for you to get a CBC, echocardiography and a chest X-Ray done and consult with a physician for further guidance.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
