About Me (In My Own Words)
Began feeling short of breath in 2016. After seeking the cause through seeing many specialists, last October I finally received a definitive diagnosis of the cause of (the now much worse) symptoms: radiation induced heart disease from cancer treatment 40 years ago. Three of four valves are affected, as well as CAD with my right coronary artery 100% occluded, and who knows what else they'll find once the surgeons get in there. Now that I've worked up my courage to go through with it, I'm eager to get the surgery out of the way one week from today. However, it is disconcerting to have this going on in the midst of a pandemic.
