This was very useful to watch on video. The aim to strengthen communications between cardiologists, radiation oncologists, oncologists and the GPs can only lead to better experiences for patients.
Lee, the speaker with ‘consumer’ experience was terrific giving insight into how, after her treatment, her particular heart health issues presented more than 10 years later.
The questions viewers raised really cut to the chase and were proactive (eg ‘what can we do to manage and prevent cardiovascular issues after bc treatment?’)
The closing statement about the importance of talking with the patient - and factoring in what they need or want - was excellent (seems basic but surprisingly easy to overlook).
Another useful take out was that heart issues can evolve and emerge over a long timeframe and combined with the reality that treating specialists may retire or move practices, the person being treated is better placed if they are also able to keep their own records. Thus giving them an ability to refer back in some detail to their treatment regime.
@Mez_BCNA given that many of us with HER2 positive diagnosis are told early on about the potential for heart toxicity side effects of some targeted drugs this might be a helpful video to add to the Triple Positive Group thread.
