Thank you Kevin for sharing your story. I’m happy to hear you still continue to live your life and do all the things you love. I do believe that sometimes it’s mind over matter and you have to that positive mindset.

Also, thank you for sharing your chart. I noticed a note on there mentioning afib. Do you have that as a result of the medications?

I first noticed it after a dinner date with my wife where we shared a bottle of wine.

My cardiologist said I needed to stop drinking...or go on medication...

He had no cause and effect correlation but I said maybe it's the ADT...I had no scientific cause and effect either but a strong intuitive correlation.

I said I would watch my drinking, usually 7-10 a week.

He put me on medication which didn't work, kept getting breakthrough episodes.

He tried cardioversion once when my heart wouldn't come out of AFib by itself. My wife was not enamored with the idea of stopping my heart....

Finally when he said the only medication left required three days in the hospital for monitoring because if the side effects, we said do the ablation.

Problem solved!

So, yes, I do think ADT was a causation. Can I prove it, no!

It is why I say you should have a cardiologist on your team!
