Did you know that cancer can affect your heart? With February designated as American Heart Month, it’s a good reminder for people with cancer to monitor their cardiovascular health. Heart conditions can develop or worsen after cancer treatment. It is important that cancer patients work with their cancer care team to find out whether their treatment can cause any heart-related problems. Living a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of heart disease. https://loom.ly/XiZdRwo
