He's a Cutie, see?... What QTc?

Baseline EKG

As part of the protocol to take Tasigna, Mando had to have a baseline EKG BEFORE starting this chemo drug.

Mando also had to have an EKG at 2 weeks after starting Tasigna. He had that yesterday.

Mando will have to have EKG's every 3 months while he is on this drug. Mando hopes to be on the drug indefinitely.

The reason for the EKG is to look at the QTc...to watch out for a prolonged QT interval.

Yeah, that's that Cardiac lingo I was talking about...It's all Greek to me. ( Can I still say that? I apologize if that's offensive. )

Yesterday during Mando's appointment we discussed Mando's baseline EKG.

His QTc was ALREADY prolonged.

WHAT THE HELL? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME? What NEXT?

2 week follow up EKG

I have not heard back about yesterdays EKG yet.

We'll go for an echocardiogram in two weeks. They will take a look inside Mando's heart.

 I am certain they will see a heart of gold.  My Father had an enlarged heart. They said it was because he was an athlete. I knew better. I expect  Mando's to be equally huge.
