Kat, have you gone to your primary care doctor (not your onc)? When i started having blood pressure problems, my onc sent me to my PCP (who would then have referred me to a cardiologist if I needed it). But we got it resolved on this level, then he sent a note to my onc that I could continue with the chemo.
Good luck,
Janet
