I  would  have   200  questions  that needed to be answered  before I said anything at all  your  1/4 of a line  question  just  wont  cut it,  I would  suggest  that YOU begin  BY  asking the  cardio thoracic ,  or  Cardiologist  that  Manages your  situation.  1st  I  dont know if your  issue was  caused  by genetics or  huypertension or  some  Other  factor (disease) as  just an example....   and  I  /we have no  idea what  other medications your  taking  a) for issues  related to the dissection and  all that goes  with it, or  Those  you take to Maintain your   general health  (up until you  get to the  Chemo)  or any  other  potential medication  you might be taking (includin  Over the  counter  stuff)  and  Your   physicans  would  be  silly to  suggest "they know the answer  off  the top of they're heads without knowing what you take  and for what issues    The  Aorta is  divided into 4  "main  segments"  and the closer to  the heart and  arch the  more  problematic the  issue of  dissection can be  because  blood flow   can  affect the  brain  eyesight   mobility of  the  arms and  Uppper body incuding the organs in the thoracic  cavity,  the down  side (descending  aorta)  can  affect the  blood flow to  the stomach and  liver  kidneys and  bowels, panreas Gall  bladder and  can affect your  long term  health in that manner it  can and will  also  affect blood flow to the legs and your ability to  walk  so your  talking  some  serious  issues  here ...  very important to contact your most knowledgable  cardio   doctor and  bring  your  concerns  to him or her and even have  them get in contact with your  Other  doctor to  discuss  potential issues..   Mind you  I  have  never  had  chemo for  any  reason (yet)   I have  a  daily course of 8   medications and  a  couple of  suppliments  that I take  and  they even  affect Any  oTC   type  things  I might  take especially  use  caution with  things  that will  raise your  BP  if your  hypertensive  and   are on  Meds  for  Hypertension,  No matter  what  Even a  phone call  to or  from  The  doctor to  discuss  the  cardio  meds and   chemo   meds ... Do  NOT   Just ignore  the issue at all... Good  luck  perhaps getting the  doctors  to do a 3 way  call with  you  (I doubt it  would  happen but  worth a try )
