Lani, we were probably posting at the same time, so I didn't read your last post until now. Please don't fret--I wasn't planning to accuse my cardiologist of negligence. I like her way too much to risk losing her. But I was certainly planning to ask why the contrast was suggested, since it does pose certain dangers. And my decision to question her on the use of a contrast was not based on your post but on the recent news alerts about echo contrasts and the probability that such contrasts will soon be given "black box" labeling. I was also surprised that the tech wanted to use a contrast, as I had requested an echo to avoid another MUGA injection!

I'm sure that we all welcome your posts--at least I do. I get Google alerts on everything happening on HER2 but I often don't have time to go through them all, and I always know that when I don't, you'll have done it for us. So thanks.
