I was due to start chemo for breast cancer with ec tomorrow. I had a heart ultrasound today and the hospital phoned to say there was a problem with my heart something to do with 50%. I've had palpitations since 2021 cardiology consultant said nothing to worry about. I'm scared I won't be able to have treatment. I'm on list for cardiology appointment within two weeks. I've just had my picc line fitted too. I could cry I'd got my head sorted to start chemo. I've already had two lots of surgery and lymph nodes removed.
Hi Cfell sorry to hear this but this often happens.
Chemotherapy does put the body under a lot of pressure especially our heart so it’s good that this was picked up (this is the reason you have an ECG) but between your cardiologist and oncologist a way forward will be found ((hugs))
