Re: 2nd PTH yesterday...and now discovery of heart arrythmia

Jessica, I'm so hoping this just turns out to be a fluke. Just a want to let you know too how much I admire your strength and faith. You are an amazing woman! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Joanne

Dear Lord Almighty, I worship You. I give You reverence. I pray for Your mercy. Our HER2 sister, Jessica has endured so much from this miserable cancer. Please embrace Jessica in your healing arms and ease her suffering and pain from this disease and restore her health. I pray for your miracles with all my heart for all of us stricken with sickness, and I pray for peace on earth. In Your Name, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Re: 2nd PTH yesterday...and now discovery of heart arrythmia

Hello Jessica

I'm truly sorry to hear you're going through this heart scare.

It is scary. Last year I found out I have minor heart valve disease (left mitral regurgitation) so I can guess a little bit about how you're feeling.

On the bright side, as our fellow posters have mentioned, atrial fibrilation is common. In fact, my sister has it and it is so mild it does not have to be treated.

Hope you have the type you mentioned that does not have to be treated.

On the other hand, if it does have to be treated, surely it is better to know now and get it sorted out.

Keeping everything crossed for you.

Jessica I agree hang on. Don't even think of pacemaker (and related operation) now. Deep breath in, you are in my thoughts
