Not me. I have a tissue valve and had radiation treatment. I can sympathize with you about how draining it can be to have two medical saga's ongoing at the same time. . .

I guess @Zoeey2011 never got an answer from their post.
I would be really interested to know if anyone here since has had chemo on warfarin, I guess warfarin would be stopped and Heparin given instead? Similar to radiation treatment perhaps?
Even if anyone wants to pm me rather than posting.
Thanks

I know nothing specific, but there are probably many who have had cancer treatment while on warfarin for heart problems. Heart problems and cancer go hand in hand in the elderly. I would think it would be highly dependent upon the type of chemo or radiation.
