Hey Scott, Hear ya loud and clear! Just finished reading an article this AM by a hospice nurse who said that her dying patients’ greatest regret was that they never appreciated their health! But isn’t that the truth??
Many of us are on drugs we can’t even pronounce or have conditions we never heard of - let alone the “specialists” who only treat THAT disease…WTF??
But this is just another bump along the way, OK? Your Afib could be caused by a variety of things, not just anemia. And to say that it is caused by 5 sessions of targeted SBRT is ridiculous, IMO. You need a LOT of whole body exposure - or certainly more than that targeted to something as small as a prostate - to get anemia.
You might have low iron too, which is very common as we age, or low B12 levels. Hopefully this array of MDs will figure it out.
On a personal note, my wife consistently runs very high Potassium levels on her bloodwork. Her MD finally sent her to a kidney specialist who ran all kinds of blood and urine tests - even collecting all her urine in a 24 hr period. Guess what he found? NOTHING! He told her she was fine and simply ran high potassium. Duh??
So do what you gotta do, don’t get frustrated and remember that all those waiting rooms are filled with people just like you who would rather be gardening, playing pickleball or eating a bucket of Chicken Wings with a couple of beers…hang in there, bud..,
