Will cancer treatment have an effect on my avm?

Hi all. Unfortunately I have had a diagnosis of breast cancer this week. I The good news is I have a treatment plan. A lumpectomy and 1 node will be removed. I will then have 6 lots of chemo and radiotherapy. I am wondering how the chemo and radiotherapy will effect my avm? It is a large extremity avm in my lower back. I will contact my avm dr but wondered if others know what to expect. I live in the uk . Many thanks

Julie,

Definitely talk to the doctor. I saw an interesting article about a trial of cancer drugs to help treat AVMs the other day. There are two posts in this thread from me on this subject. You never know, your cancer treatment might even help! Hope it does!

Best wishes always,

Richard
