Need some advise.

Hello, I was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy last September which was a complete shock after suffering with a heart attack in November and spending 8 weeks in hospital I was fitted with an ICD. 2 weeks ago I was shocked again to discover they found a small mass in my lung only to be told its malignant, after doing abit of research myself before seeing the oncologist I found that it's not safe to under go chemotherapy or radiotherapy, am I wrong? As anyone else come across this?

I could do with some advise. Thanks

Hello and welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear you have had two pieces of bad news. Please don't read Dr Google as there is serious misinformation on the Wild West that is the Interweb! Your oncologist and cardiologist will probably have to work together in a field called catdio-onclology. Some drugs and treatments will be excluded but others will not. Leave it to the experts not the web! Good luck!

Thank you. I was just getting anxious as I'm not seeing them til Tuesday and my mind is all over the place with worry. I know I should just wait but it's been so hard finding out such tough news and I'm not exactly a patient person.
