Just got my pre ablation appointment at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, on Nov 2nd. Beginning to feel nervous now, but glad something is being done at last.

Good news Paddington, I'm scheduled to have mine next weds 26th oct, I to am feeling very very nervous, to the point of ringing up no cancelling it, however at 41, I'd like to try to be aggressive in getting treatment, not cure as I believe cure isn't possible for this condition, I wish you the best of luck with your journey

Well that's all depends on the definition.

When learned people like Professor Schilling now talk about people being cured you know that milestone is being reached!!! You may be one of the first with this new pioneering treatment!!!!!

Hello Paddington

Please do let us know how you got on during and after the ablation. I am nearly 80 and after 20+ years of struggling with AF I have AT LAST been referred to a cardiologist with a suggestion from my gp that I undergo ablation. I live in Northampton and like most hospitals generally the waiting list is VERY long!!!! I will be very interested in your experience after having undergone this op. Good luck and I hope it all goes well.

Best wishes Gillyflower 13

Dr Roger Moore (no not the actor) Whitehaven. First saw him in Feb the year, after being referred last November. I think things seded up when my symptoms got worse.

It's Dr S Murray at the Freemans

Hi Paddinton. Dr Murray is brill. I had a 3 week spell in local hospital and Freeman after my ablation due to few problems and Dr Murray got me sorted and quicker than I was initially expecting.

Hi Paddinton. Had my ablation at the Freeman in July. Despite having a few initial hiccups afterwards would def say go for it. My quality of life has massively improved. I was pretty much in af 24/7 before my ablation and very breathless with it to the point of needing help just to get to my loo but now feel 100% better. If my af ever does return would not hesitate to have another one. I am on deronadrone as a precaution but know at my follow up appt I'll be taken off them as cardiologist said I wouldn't be on them too long. The staff at Freeman really brill x

Recently had my ablation at Freeman. After all my nervousness went absolutely well. Calmness , reassurance and professionalism were evident from those involved from start to finish. At present OK off all mdication except anticoagulant, never felt so good. All the best for your procedure
