About Me (In My Own Words)
My aortic and mitral valves are entering the stage of severe stenosis, likely due to radiation therapy for Hodgkins lymphoma back in 1990. 33 years of great life thanks to cancer treatments of that time but now it's catching up on me. Hoping for decades more with my wife and young children, and that valve replacement will offer that chance. Still I am conflicted about the choice between mechanical and tissue valves as far as the best decision for the future.
