Rita Savelis I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I had double valve replacement in 2015 (because of radiation induced heart stenosis due to a childhood cancer - Hodgkin's disease). I had 2 unrelated cancers in 2020: breast and anal canal. I had radiation and chemo for the anal cancer and surgery for the breast cancer. Chemo should not be a problem for you. If you have surgery your doctors will take into consideration the status of your heart. Because I take anticoagulants for my 2 mechanical valves, there was some questioning as to how my INR would react to chemo, but I was fine. Again, I'm sorry that you have to go through this. Take care.
