Anyone have to delay treatment until after cardiac procedure?

If you agree with the hematologist, tell your cardiologist you aren't willing to wait. If he won't do the procedure on your timeline ask your hematologist to find a cardiologist who will. You don't have to let your cardiologist dictate the timeline.
If he has a reason for waiting, ask him to explain why the risk of doing the treatment sooner outweighs the risk of not treating your other issue.

Hi @kansasjayhawk You gave some sound advice to @mcarre regarding their dilemma with conflicting doctors. Thanks for dropping into the conversation!
By the way, Welcome to Mayo Connect. Since you’re new here, I hope you take the time to explore the over 80+ health related groups. Your first post was in our Blood cancer & Disorders group. Have you been diagnosed with a blood related disease?
