A local woman learns she has cancer inside her heart. Here is the story of one woman who was diagnosed with this rare disease. Imagine how frightening that would be. Doctors tell us that they figured this problem out in the nick of time because this cancer was aggressive and rapidly growing inside her heart. If it wasnt for a new field of medicine called cardiac oncology, she probably wouldnt have made it. After working at Arlington County schools for nearly 20 years, estella says she was ready for retirement. I was planning to do a lot of things and travel and enjoy life. But i was tired all the time. Extreme fatigue and shortness of breath, too. She thought it was just part of getting older until a swollen gland in her neck prompted her to see a doctor. They saw that i had water in the back of my heart. I thought it was a miracle because without that they never find that i had water in my heart. She underwent two surgeries to drain that fluid but it kept coming back. They eventually found this a tumor growing inside her heart. Her first doctor told her it was a deadly sarcoma and because of its location it couldnt be removed. Being in her 60s, she wasnt a good candidate for a heart transplant for that. She was told that the tumor would eventually kill her. There was not much that could be done. It is twice the thickness of a normal heart. The key there is what is it. This doctor wasnt so sure about estellas original diagnosis. The med star heart and vascular academy had a hunch that it might be a mistake and a biopsy revealed that it was not a deadly sarcoma but a different kind of cancer, lymphoma, treatable but in this case it was something these doctors had never seen before. Its very unusual, very rare and very aggressive and we know it needs to be treated asap. This was her oncologist and part of a new cardiac oncology team. He says her tumor was growing so fast they needed to start treatment immediate lyly. She would get drug infusions 24 hours a day for four days once a month for about six months. She also received an immunotherapy drug that wouz stimulate her immune system to fight off the lymphoma from recurring. Doctors immediately saw major results. The tumor had shrunk by about 15 . It was a blessing. The tumor is gone and she has gotten her energy back and she is finally starting to enjoy retirement.
