Several articles have appeared in the scientific literature lately about the increased risk of heart problems and hypertension as a side effect of both radiation and chemotherapy for cancer. That’s why I advise patients to consider only chemo and radiation that has a good chance of improving lifespan and quality of life. Then add vitamins and minerals, especially high dose intravenous vitamin C, during and/or after the conventional treatments. This tends to repair the free radical damage generated by the drugs.
