Today's echocardiogram was ordered by my cardio-oncologist. I think the idea is to make sure my heart function has returned to normal after finishing Herceptin.
Instead of going to my usual hospital, this echocardiogram was at the cardio-oncologist's office, at a different suburban satellite location. I don't know if it was the doctor's orders or the technician I had, but the echocardiogram took longer than usual, like 20-25 minutes instead of 10-15 minutes. It seemed like the technician was taking more measurements than at previous appointments.
Anyway, it was uneventful. I have the follow-up appointment to discuss the results with the cardio-oncologist next week.
