You need facts: You have to know all facts, what type of cancer, location , stage, of disease, most of the time heart problem could be controlled during pre operative preparation , and what type of chemotherapy you have to provide all these to give a scientific answer for you, from any of us. She has right not to tell you also to protect her privacy.

Need more info: Anesthesiologists provide care for patients with heart problems who need surgery every day. Our job is to manage the heart problem so the surgery can proceed. She should have a consultation with an anesthesiologist for further evaluation. Surgery may be a possibility with extra precautions, heart monitoring, and intensive care. Good luck!
