Time for Tests

Before I begin my next cycle of chemo I need to have some tests done.  I do blood work every time I do chemo and all my levels are assessed and have been fine.  Today I have another echogram and then an EKG because all these drugs can be pretty hard on your cardiovascular system.  Since I am in the clinic trial, if I am receiving the test drug that is known to be hard on your circulartory system, can cause hypertension and so these tests are all very important.  My echogram from before treatment was 75% which is excellent and most people test about 50% so I am hoping things are close.  I don't know how much training to walk 60 miles improves my heart - but it seems it has to play some part of it.   I have not been doing much in the way of cardio exercise - I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope the test come back okay.
