Hi 

I was Due to start chemo last Tues , but when I saw the Oncologist the Thurs before , She said I couldn’t have it as my heart scan had showed a EF ? And as chemo can be tough on the heart , wants me to see a cardiologist . I had got myself all prepared , well as prepared as you can be for chemo to being told no , so last week I really struggled with it all and felt very alone and upset . I then then saw the Surgeon/consultant Thurs just gone who has now booked me for a lumpectomy for the 3rd of Oct . It was the Consultant who wanted me to have chemo first but the Oncologist wanted the Surgery first , which did confuse me , but spoke to the breast care nurse who reassured me that the chemo would be first . Things have changed but was wondering has anyone else had this happen to them ? Thank you Nads xx
