@myjiggers1, what did you learn about your heart issues? You may ask about a cardio-oncology specialist or department.

Mayo Clinic offers a program to address heart problems associated with cancer treatment called cardio-oncology or for people who have a pre-existing heart condition when diagnosed with cancer. 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, and can help evaluate treatment when you have both cancer and heart conditions.

Do you have access to a similar cardio-oncology program?

I do have a cardiologist but not in oncology. They have not called me with any results yet, however the pain has subsided. I am wondering if it was anxiety induced. I do suffer from high anxiety. Ugh idk.
