Heart fibrosis-radiation treatment

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

a patient wrongly diagnosed with asthma that developed after radiotheraphy,

chemo & stem cell transplant has now been diagnosed with left ventricular

impairment. The treaments were approx 10yrs ago, only by end of last year did it

become very obvious that she had water on her lungs and not asthma. Resting

pulse was 120, and she got leg and abdominal oedema.

Some advice about herbs that can help a heart damaged from radiotherapy would be

greatly appreciated. As I've never treated a heart damaged by radiation, it'd be

great to know if there are any specific herbs/treatment strategies for this kind

of fibrosis.

She is going to pick her own hawthorn flowers when they start flowering, and

start taking dandelion tea after the diuretics (furosemide) are stopped since

oedema & breathlessness are gone.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sonja
