Having an irregular heart rhythm, such as AF can lead to an AF-related stroke which can prove fatal. Anticoagulants, significantly lower the risk of blood clots and preventing an AF-related stroke. For further information.

I hope they don't lower the risk of preventing a stroke Tracy!!
Hi Tracy
Have you read that if diagnosed is cancer (returned) I should not be taking my PRAXA 110 x twice day.
Could you research this?
I was awaiting my 3rd scan - RAI scan but an appointment came in yesterday that I have an appointment for RAI Treatment. It appears not a scan.
4th year post thyroidectomy for papillary.
Scans show 3 affected lymph nodes. 1 is 19mm x 9mm, other 2 are 6mm and 7mm.
I must get back to my surgeon as I declined RAI treatment post thyroidectomy. But thyroid and 12 lymph nodes removed with 2 affected back in 2020. Diagnosed with stroke (Embollic) and AF Rapid and persistent.
Thanx, JOY. 75. (NZ)
Thank you for your message in response to our recent post. Further to your enquiry, may I suggest you please contact your medical team regarding your prescribed medication, unfortunately, I am unable to offer any advice regarding individual medication/dosage.
Take care

Hi
But this should be a general enquiry. We should know if anti-co.agulants should be stopped in the diagnosis of cancer.
I asked my doctor today.
She said she didn't know. But she said that she personally would remain fearful for not being covered against a risk of another stroke.
You could do some searching for the sake of my question.
I have a date of RA Scan. 6th May drink 80Level RA liqid - mouthful. 2 days later scan. On that same day I see a Endocrinologist.
