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

@sophiarose, your mention of heart issues tipped me off to let you know about cardio-oncology.
Mayo Clinic offers expertise in addressing heart problems (called cardio-oncology), potential or current issues. The Cardio-Oncology Clinic (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/cardio-oncology-clinic/overview/ovc-20442193) evaluates people prior to cancer treatment and patients who have experienced side effects due their treatment.
You might wish to inquire about a consult with a cardio-oncology specialist, although it sounds like you're already in good hands. Just thought I'd make you aware of the specialty.
