@1socalgal, I can imagine that you are concerned about the prolongation of QTc. Do you know about cardio-oncology?
Cardio-oncology offers expertise in addressing heart problems, potential or current issues during cancer treatments. At Mayo Clinic for example, 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.
I'm glad that cardiology is now involved in monitoring your case. Sounds like it is not only concerning but also frustrating with no clear answers.
