		Hi  I went to a cardologist first, My Onc said she was not trained for the heart.  We did a mugga and not a stress test till later.... my heart was too bad.  I was put on: 
Lasix 20mg 
Digoxin .25 
spironolactone 25mg, 
Diovan 80mgm 
coreg 25mgm  gradually raised  now on 100mgm daily 
Magnesium at night  
Potassium Cl 10meq  
Furosemide 40mg 
Also had Sleep apnea test and on 2 liters O2 at night 
with cpap at 9. 
I slept up in a chair for about 3 months, 
I had lots of rest!!! Was unable to go to  
any higher elevation 
I am doing fine and my test are good.  I was  
back on Herceptin in 4 months time. 
best advice see a cardiologist. there are many 
of us back on it after CHF 
Hugs and good luck 
Marilyn
