Many of your onc's breast cancer patients will benefit from your diligence! How nice that you will present the information to him, rather than dropping the subject...

Brenda,
I would be concerned about the competency of your oncologist. This is a well-known risk and the two drugs should never be given at the same time.

You may want to request a MUGA or echo to study your left ventricle function.

Good luck,
Hope M.
