I was at the Drs yesterday and while taking my vitals they found my heart rates 45. My Dr thinks that the tumor on my neck is blocking the carotid artery and therefore slowing my heartbeat.She wants me to call 911 if I feel dizzy or pass out. I am scared to go to sleep now as I keep thinking my heart is going to stop.I started taking the Tarceva yesterday, Im hoping it hurries and shrinks this damn tumor. Ive never been so scared in my life.
