I'm just wondering? Because this guy that works for my dad said that his dad has cancer and its gotten bad which we believe cuz you can't really play around wit that. But this dude has made up some bull sh*t story that his dad had a heart while in the hopital. he wasn't even crying or conserned about that. All because his car got towed or whatever and he can't get it out of the pound and he can't ask his dad for money and he asked my dad for money and a advance on his cheque before my dad went on vaction. But now my dad is gone and he keep on bugging the person whos in charge and he told him no because my father is not there and has to follow what my dad says. Do you think this is a bull **** story or do you think its possible for someone to have a heart attack with cancer?

Of course it's possible, why wouldn't it be? It's like saying that someone with a head cold couldn't also have a broken leg--there's nothing about the first one that means the second one wouldn't be possible. Not that I'm saying you should necessarily believe his story, but there's no reason why someone with cancer couldn't also have heart problems.

Everything is possible because he might have had a heart condition before the cancer. Than again, cancer debilitates the body. (possibility but we are not sure)
Based on the circumstances this dude is an abusive one. He probably has family that he is not bothering because they are fed up with him. You can only help people so much and after that they are on their own (grow up dude).
Is he a good employee?
The employer can be supportive and help you at times (very specific and unique). Taking advantage of peoples kindness is a different story.
Just be firm and tell him you have to follow protocol, sounds like he is a problematic person based on his choice of words.
Family Leave is available to employees but it is very specific and people have to meet criteria and be able to produce whatever evidence is require (protocol).
Good luck with him!

It's possible for anybody to have a heart attack... Cancer patient or not.
My Uncle went into hospital for a routine kindney stone removal... He had a heart attack and died the day after the procedure because a blood clot that formed in his kidney moved to his heart.
I think it's actaully more likely for a cancer patient to suffer secondary complications like this... Perhaps a blood clot formed near the tumor or from inactivity and travelled to the heart... Perhaps the chemo/radiotherapy affected the bodies ability to control the heart... It's horible stuff is cancer therapy and it has tones of side affects...
Bottom line, yes... it is possible...

There is no reason why a cancer patient can't have a heart attack. They are just as susceptible to heart attacks as anyone else.

Of Course it could happen- health wise. As for it being a scam from the guy to get money-could be too. That happens all the time! Probley should trust your gut. If it smells like a rat, mostly likely is a rat!

When your body becomes very weak due to an illness like cancer it is very likely for the heart to just stop.

Yes, my aunt had a heart attack while she had cancer. I'm not sure if the heart attack or the cancer killed her. I was only a kid when she died.

Cancer and Heart Disease are distinctly different health problems and can in fact co-exist in a person.
