Deb
Sorry to hear about the need for additional meds. I know that it can be frustrating and scary. I'm sure you will come through with flying colors. The fact that you are young and in good shape your less likely to have the effects on your heart, but I'm sure someone will chime in on that too. Wishing you good thoughts and prayers for the treatments to go fast and easy.
