Echocardiogram-another word for Heart Ultrasound!

Had a heart check today: via an echocardiogram.  But you've got uterine cancer you say......?

Ah yes, another little complication.... I've been experiencing a little bit of discomfort in my chest. getting a bit puffed out (no I have not been working out, surprise, surprise...). So there is a problem, but it appears it is not with the electrics of my heart as we first thought. It is more likely to be due to a low ejection fraction in my left ventricle....It may be due to effects of chemo-who knows?

I also had a blood test and got the all clear in regards to possible heart damage over the past few days....Yey!

What does this all mean? I don't know, but am meeting with the cardiologist on Friday morning (in two days!) This may require some medication for heart protection. I may still be in the running for Pazopanib which has arrived finally!!!!!!! I will have to wait to get the official word from the cardiologist. After this appointment, I will catch up with the sarcoma doctors on Friday to go the next step, whatever that may be....

There may be good news around the corner, just you wait and see!

Love Your Life!
Georgia
