I've been on taxotere/herceptin/carboplatin/xomeda now for 6 months. I just had an echo and it came back with results of an enlarged left atrium. My output is still pretty good at 48% (down from 50%). I was on A/C last year. My onc. is concerned and I'm going to see a cardiologist. I have a PET scheduled for tomorrow also. My onc dropped the carbo a few weeks ago when my markers got close to normal.

Yesterday was definitely a "chocolate day". I really needed "a fix" after hearing that I might not be able to continue on herceptin (I am her2/neu +3, er/pr -). I was stage one just 15 months ago (although the oncs think I had mets. to my bones before they found the breast tumor since the bone mets is fairly involved).

Have any of you experienced this enlargement of the atrium? My onc. mentioned ACE inhibitors. I know nothing about this.
