Thanks for your encouragement gloaming. I have learned a lot from your posts. You’re a wealth of information and I understand all the risks from both action and inaction. Sorry about your wife’s challenges. I have no doubt you’re a great patient advocate for her.

I love to be informed so I can make informed decisions but it’s also a battle with some doctors to explain my complicated medical history and adverse reactions. Some acknowledge there are people who are outliers and others take the cookie cutter approach no matter what you say. Frustrating.

I’m tired of the AFib and worry so I’m ready to take action but have a couple lung tumors that need to be ablated soon as well so I haven’t figured out the timing of each yet but I’ll at least try the blood thinner for now. Thanks for all your input.
