Late Side Effects
Penny, how frightening it must have been for you to collapse like that. I am sorry you have this burden along with everything else.
A medical oncologist advised me that I would not monitoring going forward by a cardiologist familiar with chemo-related heart conditions. With so much else going on, I just have not had time to follow up. Your PCP should refer you to such a specialist.
Your last radiation treatment--that's something to celebrate. Hopefully, the cardiac situation will be resolved quickly so you can appreciate your accomplishment and move on with your life. My best to you, young lady.

As Moopy just said, you need to see a cardiologist and probably be under specialist care. I recommend that you ask you doc at your next appointment for referral to see cardiologist as soon as possible. I am very sorry for what had happened and wish you fast recovery and feel better soon.

Hang tough, Lady. This chemo and RADS is hard on the heart. Make sure you follow-up so they take care of this problem, rest, and take care of yourself. Take it easy.

Sending you prayers and hugs. Hoping that you feel better soon. Try to rest as much as you can. Rads really take it out of you. Good luck!0
