‘AF-related stroke – getting to the heart of the matter’

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.

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)

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.
