Hi, I'm booked for an appointment with the oncologist next Monday. Regarding commencing Chemo. Can any body tell me about " The heart scan". What is this. And what's it for
Thanks Juli.
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.
