I totally agree with you that your oncologist needs to step up to the plate or be replaced.
You need support and feedback.

Research and see what will work to take if you have heart issues.
Your cardiologist needs to be in the game too and both know what you are taking and checking you out timely for heart issues.

In an ideal world, they should be communicating with each other.
In US medicine, this never happens.
So, keep your oncologist and cardiologist in the loop by posting information given by each one to you to the other.

Insist that your oncologist listen to your concerns and develop a plan.
