Many thanks for the reply. As a direct result of which and with no contact from the Cardiologist I am postponing a general anasthetic operation arranged for me for Wednesday next July 2 for a breast cancer operation for the removal of a benign nodule. I having already had a Magseed inplanted to locate it for the surgeon on the day. Initially they were not going to proceed but i am told now it was the Cardiologist who was pusshing for removal.
Initially i intend to make a private appointment with the consultant who supervised the Angiogram procedure to find out his advice the the Cardiologist.
At the pre op I was informed that there appears to have been a conversation from the Cardiologist to the breaat surgeon saying I am fit to undergon full anaesthetic for the removal operation next Wednesday. I will explore your suggested link and my wife and I really appreciate your help with my heart problems. Here in the UK, although treatments are all free at the point of need, it is becoming clear that an age related restriction could be being strategically applied

It happens everywhere, but in socialized medical care milieux it seems to be more nefarious. Each physician/surgeon relies on tried and true calculi to figure out how best to proceed with each patient, but also in relation to the more acute needs of other patients standing around hoping for their own interventions. Sometimes it means we get told to come back another day. Or, the surgeon tells us we're simply not good candidates and that the risk of further deterioration or damage is too high for their liking.
Please note that I was only relating my opinion, and that was with very little information about your case, especially other factors that the cardiologist might have been cognizant of and that he/she is very much worried about. I'm guessing your oncologist and your cardiologist would have had a frank and comprehensive discussion about you and the relevant factors, so I urge you to proceed cautiously with LOTS OF consultation.
