Echo Cardiogram

My heart beat

So this morning I had an echo cardiogram at the General Hospital. This test is done to make sure that my heart is strong enough to endure the chemotherapy. It's an ultra sound of the heart. Everyone in the waiting room was at least 40 years older than me. When I was called in for my exam I had to change into a robe and lie down on a bed. The technician put three sticky probes to my chest and abdomen that were attached to wires. Then she put a paddle against my chest and we got to look at my heart. They will use the results from this test as a baseline against any future tests during or after the chemo. Still no word from my surgeon.
