Hi ladies, I saw the Cardiologist this afternoon who said he was very surprised at my results as he totally didn't expect them. He got straight onto the phone to the hospital and has added me to his list tomorrow morning for an urgent angiogram. He's hoping it's just a shadow on the scan but said if not, I may need stents. Apparently the breast surgeon has contacted him and said if I need further treatments/tests on the heart then she will refer me to the oncology team to start treatment prior to breast surgery ( wish she had said that to me to stop me stressing). Anyway my blood pressure was pretty high today at 180/95 so he has doubled my BP medication and added a blood thinner too. I was supposed to have a D&C, hysteroscopy and removal of Mirena next Monday at the breast surgeons request but that is on reserve until tomorrow's results too. I've been having x-rays and blood tests this afternoon in preparation for tomorrow (8.30am) so am hoping for a peaceful and quiet evening. Thanks for all the support. My sister is most upset that all this is happening to me as no one else has such bad health in the family but as I sai; if it was the lottery I would share with you. I'm not going to even dream of inflicting this on anyone. I'll be okay
