I can really understand your situation now! Boy, are you a brave soul! I love your attitude; go for quality of life! My motto: it's not the time in your life, it is the life in your time here. You deserve to feel as good as possible regardless! And you don't want a stroke! Good luck with your consult and go loaded with all your questions in writing, so you don't overlook anything! Hopefully you'll get a good EP doctor who will listen to you as an individual. Best wishes.

Yes, the EP needs to be a good listener as well as skilled. One can hope.
Quality of life is definitely my priority. I learned a lot watching my brothers battle and die way too young from cancer. When one had stage 4 esophageal cancer and in decline, a surgeon noticed very suspicious moles. So they did 30 deep and wide biopsies each requiring several stitches that left him even more miserable. I couldn’t believe it. 12 turned out to be stage 1 maybe 2 melanoma. Who cares about that? Ridiculous to put him through that. He died a few months later from his esophageal cancer. I’ve tried to learn from their experiences.
