Thanks for your reply Jane.
I've not come across anyone else who has been impacted by this so it was good to hear your story.

I haven't had a chance to discuss it with my oncologist yet but that's probably a good idea as he should have plenty of experience with it.

Yesterday I had another lump removed from my mastectomy site and it was hard to know what I was more worried about, the lump or the cardiomyopathy. Of course I've been told to rest but with school going back this week still have lots to do to get the kids ready and just want to get on with life. I understand now why people call it a new normal post cancer. Thanks again for your reply.
