Just check with your oncologist if it's a 'heart echo"test that you might need.This is the more common test done and it's not invasive at all.It's basically an ultrasound with no needles involved.But it measures all heart structures and function.There are a couple of chemo drugs(as well as Hercepton)which can affect the heart so it is carefully monitored.

Thank you jessica, You have explained it very clearly. I have read people going through treatment and every now and again they mention about the heart scan. So I was just unsure. I have been diagnosed on Nov 21st as ER & PR positive. HER2 neg. so I won't be taking herceptin. Thanks guys Juli
