About Me

I had Hodgkins Disease back in 1978, when I was 26. Radiation was the norm for treatment which was successful and I'm very grateful for. However, because radiation was not as localized as it is now days, it damaged the valves and started showing symptoms 4 years ago, starting with a pacemaker.
