I understand having competing health issues. I have Crohn's Disease and I'm being treated for a rare aggressive uterine cancer.

But cancer trumps Crohn's in my opinion. My maintenance drug can cause heart failure. I'm receiving what will be maintenance drug with my chemotherapy regimen already. We see from the echocardiogram that there has hee negative impact on my heart, (I didn't have heart issues going into this. )

I want to live. Bottom line is I'm going to try everything that has some science behind it to live. I decided I am going to add a cardiologist to my team to monitor my heart as I receive the treatments.

I also discovered that food choices can impact high blood pressure and Autoimmune diseases. I first worked with a dietitian to learn how to eat for health then I turned to a Functional Doctor to help me regain my health. Almost all his treatments address diet. It's a difficult transition to go from being someone who only knew the Standard American diet to a whole food plant based diet.
For me it's worth risking my heart health to survive cancer, but I'm going into it knowing the risk and I'm trying to initigate him as much as possible
