A beautiful heart


 

I have a beautiful heart! So said the ultrasound technician who did my echocardiogram today.  It’s nice to hear good news from a medical person. He said I must take good care of myself. No.  But apparently my heart is in excellent condition anyway.

This test was necessary because some chemotherapy drugs can have negative effects on the heart so it is important to know the heart’s condition going into chemo.

It was fascinating to be able to see and hear my own heart at work – the steady beat, and the whoosh of blood flow.  Very nifty.

And one more thing crossed off the to-do list.
