Many cancer survivors are never told that their risk for cardiovascular disease increases after treatment. But cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in North America, and cancer survivors face an even higher risk due to treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and hormone-altering therapies.

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, I walk you through why heart health deserves intentional attention after cancer, what most standard screening misses, and how cardiovascular disease prevention fits naturally into long-term cancer recovery.
