wondered if any one else fighting stage IV colon cancer has had symptoms related to changes in heart rate. My Dad's cancer seemed to also have spread to the heart area and recently he is com,plaining of odd heart beats..... could it be the cancer in that area or perhaps from meds? He is taking a total break from chemo for a few months because it was no longer effective.

    I can only chime in as
    I can only chime in as support because I don't know anything about how cancer affects the heart. I am the caretaker for my husband that has stage lV colorectal, mets to liver. I think my first intinct would be to take him to ER when he has any symptoms concerning the heart. I wish the best for you. There are many people on this site that are probably gonna be able to reply with something more helpful.
    God's blessings
