hello sir, i will be grateful if u can answer my question. my father aged 75 years with heart problems for the last 15 years got lymphoma stage iv around six months back. he is on treatment and getting chemo regularly. his heart pain in getting worse and he is not able to sleep properly at night and sometimes as days also. can we expect some improvement after chemo is over.
Hi, With very limited information provided by you, it is very difficult to comment on this issue. What form of lymphoma is he suffering form? Hodgkins or non-hodgkins? If non Hodgkin lymphoma then exact subtype to be mentioned. However in most of the lymphoma chemotherapy regime doxorubicin is incorporated which is a cardio toxic Chat Doctor.  I do not understand the meaning of heart pain. It may be due to angina or may be due to lymphoma itself or from other pathology. Anyway if your father has been suffering from heart problem then based on baseline echocardiography doxorubicin may be omitted from chemotherapy regime. Consult your oncologist and cardiologist. Take care of your father.
