My GP heard my bicuspid w/stethoscope in my 40s. I have had around 15 echos, 2 treadmill echos and 4 MRI in the past 25 years. My aneurysm is at 5 and my stenosis is starting at severe. I really did think all these years that maybe I would go into old age with my bicuspid, so it was a shock that I have to have surgery. I'm trying my best to prepare physically, emotionally and spiritually. I have to leave it in God's hands. But yes, I am scared. My family is my rock also. Please pray for me as I pray for every surgical date I see on this website.
