Preparing for another cardioversion with the drug Amiodarone

I think most people just do not really understand how difficult making these decision is. There are good and bad points with any procedure. We read as much about a procedure as we can, we depend on our doctors to give us the best information we can get out of them, but in the end, it is our decision. I am waiting on my second attempt at the Watchman device and am hoping I have made the right decision. So, make the decision you feel is right for you and then go for it. Hope it all works out well.

I know you posted this a long time ago, but after skimming through the posts in this thread I want to say that I found your comment to be very useful. There are so many different factors that go into the decision for every individual, and none of the procedures or medications are the silver bullet we would like them to be . . . so we just have to do the best we can. I sure sympathize with anyone who has to pay out of pocket for the appropriate treatment, though, makes me feel very fortunate to live in Canada, despite our current problems.

Yes - that is so true. I do the research & then pray about it as I am a Christian. I’m a 22 yr BC survivor - given a 3 yr prognosis. Had Surgery, but stopped chemo after 4th(scheduled for 8) Refused meds cause of side effects, 17 yrs brain tumor survivor - ( researched & prayed) decided against surgery (very high risk) 3 years out from brain aneurysm & after research, 2nd opinion, & prayer - decided against surgery. This is a different journey & I’m 69, but my decision will be made the same way. Thanks for the encouragement.
