Thank you so much to all of you for your replies. I am so grateful to have found this group!

I did have a baseline echocardiogram. The first I have heard of the mugga test was here. Should I have this done? My onc is not very responsive - in my opinion and seems completely unconcerned about my complaints. I just had a meeting with him this week and he did not even know how many chemo rounds I had at this point. I have had four, he thought I had only had two - even argued with me about it saying "No, you're thinking of the Herceptin treatments" and started to explain to me what the chemo days are like. It was pretty discouraging to realize he had not even reviewed my case before our meeting.

Anyway, I have kind of given up on him as being invested in my care. So, my plan is to work through my primary care doctor and get a referral to a cardiologist and go from there.

Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support. I am so grateful to have you found all of you!
