Hi
I assume they have recently checked your blood for routine stuff like anaemia?
Sounds like an echo would be good. I understand they are now shifting the interval to 4 months not three.
I still feel really annoyed that we do not have a back up available here in the form of lapatinib and very irritated that NICE have again rejected it!
I am saving up in case the time comes when I may need to buy my own!
