Robin Shares About Aortic Stenosis And Cancer (Hodgkin’s Lymphoma)
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008There never seems to be a shortage of inspirational emails waiting for me in my inbox.
Recently, I exchanged emails with Robin, a fellow patient recently diagnosed with aortic stenosis. As you can read, this is the second major health issue for Robin. Several years ago Robin fought cancer (Hodgkin’s lymphoma).

In her note to me, Robin mentioned something that I had never heard before - the negative impact of radiation on heart valve function. Specifically, Robin noted that her medical team believes that her stenotic valve was caused by radiation treatments used to fight the cancer.
