      My husband is on Fragmin due to a pulmonary embolism in September. He is scheduled to have stereotactic brain radiation  this week. We are waiting to hear back from anti coagulation specialist as to whether he should withhold or continue Fragmin on day of procedure. Radiation oncologist has weighed in: stay on Fragmin. Anyone else out there with related experience?
