Two Heart Stents, Chemo And Radiation For Espoegal. How To Merge With Previous Medications?

I recently underwent surgery. Two heart stents, chemo and radiation for espoegal(sic), a.rgery for the cancer on Oct 8th for the cancer. During this tie all me previous medications were changed. I also had problems with alcohol. Even though I abstained during the surgery periods. I need to figure out how to merge medications I am now taking with those I previously took. How do I go about accomplishing this?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Medications need to be taken under supervision of your treating doctors. There are many drug interactions which take place between medications even when taken in usual doses. While heart stenting may require blood thinners and cholesterol reducing medications the cancer may require strong chemotherapeutic drugs.

It is best to discuss the medicines with your cardiologist and you inform them of your cancer treatment details. If necessary, both your doctors may communicate for more detailed discussion.

Hope this helps
