Re: LVEF Question

Thank you for answering.
In germany all oncologists have a second field of experience. My first one was a cardiologist and did the MUGA scans himself. A reference before chemo, a check-up after chemo. I left there even though I thought he knew what he was doing because he gave me essential information and truths only in little bits and mostly when I had found them myself and just asked for confirmation. "Don't read so much on the internet!" When I got angry about this he offered drugs so I could calm down.

Well, I found the other one was not really different, he just took more time to answer if I had questions and he does do me the courtesy of assuming I have a working brain. I guess that is about as much as you can expect, being a production-line-early-stage-bc-patient. But: He is a hematologist and needs to send me to a specialist he works with if he wants information about my heart's condition. Yet another uncaring stranger. And I'd need to go to my former oncologist to get the reference scans. All this when I thought I might now have a chance of never ever having to see any of them again.
