I finally got to see my new cardiologist today.
They did an EKG, which came back normal, and, after reading the reports from the two ECG tests, the doctor decided to put me on two different medications.
These medications are supposed to strengthen the heart, and the valves that are now compromised, due to the Enhertu treatment.
The unfortunate part is that both medications can lower the blood pressure, and my normal blood pressure is already usually on the low side of normal (108/73, today, for example).
The next step is that the doctors (my oncologist, and my cardiologist) need to meet, or at least talk, and discuss my potential next steps for treatment of the cancer.
That treatment will need to not interfere with the treatment of my heart, which is, of course, necessary due to cancer treatment.
I may be about out of options for cancer treatment, so we may be near the end of this war.
I am not sure yet, though, so I will just take my new medications, hope that my blood pressure doesn't "tank," and wait for a call from the oncologist, telling me that it's time to come see him, and talk about what we can do, going forward.
Hopefully, there is something. I want to see my great niece grow up.
