Rene, Thank you for your response. I hope you will keep me posted. I am seeing my PCP next week and I will tell her I want this test and to see a cardiologist before I do anything. Please keep me posted on what you find out and i will do the same. Best, Elinor

I’ll let you know next week after my appointment. Unless you already know you have existing heart problems or a family history, you may not need a cardiologist depending on the results of your CT heart score. I knew from pre op scans that I had existing plaque so I wanted the heart score to see how bad the problem was before taking anything that could contribute or worsen heart problems, especially with my horrible paternal family history with heart problems. There are also Cardiology Oncologists as a specialty so I may end up going that way if this Cardiologist indicates I could make problems worse with AI’s. The Cardio Oncologist monitors you on which meds are best with an existing heart condition. My current Onc just suggested the usual text book, meds without taking anything else into consideration
