Severe coronary calcifications found incidentally on scan

Given the topic of this discussion, I thought I'd mention about a specialty called cadio-oncology.
Mayo Clinic offers expertise in addressing heart problems (called cardio-oncology), potential or current issues. The Cardio-Oncology Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cardio-oncology-clinic/overview/ovc-20442193) evaluates people prior to cancer treatment and patients who have experienced side effects due their treatment.
@round5, sounds like your situation is unrelated to your cancer diagnosis. There are heart related support groups on Mayo Clinic Connect if you wish to ask questions there. I think this one is the most relevant:
- Heart & Blood Health Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/heart-blood-vessel-conditions/
Use the group's search to find discussions related to your questions.

Thank you for the link however I would disagree with your statement
“ sounds like your situation is unrelated to your cancer diagnosis”
I say this because of all the multiple treatments I’ve had in the last 10 years and my lifestyle.
Surgery
60 months of Leuprolide
8 months of Zytiga
Bicalutamide
2 months salvage radiation 2019
2 months salvage radiation in 2021
Docetaxel
Carboplatin
Pluvicto
I have maintained my weight(175lbs.), continued to exercise daily(which includes jogging). Don’t smoke, very little alcohol and A moderately Healthy diet.
Would have this happened without the cancer and treatments? Possibly, but I don’t think so.
