Hello @sophiarose,

I am sorry to hear of the heart issue that you are having as a result of the Everolimus. If you are comfortable sharing more, I'm wondering what type of heart issue you are dealing with. I can understand that this new health issue will make this decision more difficult, especially as you consider traveling. When you said that you would have more support in Florida, is that because you have friends or family there who could help you?

You are wise to consult with your cardiologist before making a final decision. The more medical input you can obtain, the more confident you will be about what direction to take.

Will you post again after you see your cardiologist?

Actually after meeting with Dr Starr and his team and Lorielli I feel I would have a lot more support
I developed PVC from the Everolimus
It started in about the 7th week of treatment but by the 9th week it was full blown I was having a terrible time catching my breath my pulse was skipping and my heart was pounding out of my chest
Even though the doctors felt my irregular pulse
I had a perfect ECHO , EKG and a MRI of my heart
It wasn’t until my cardiologist sent me to the hospital and hooked up to the 24 monitor that they saw what was going on
I am on a beta blocker and it is a lot better just hoping it isn’t permanent
I will keep you posted
Thank you for your concern
