Rachelle's Profile

I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in 1988 and received radiation therapy for it. I was then diagnosed in 2005 with aortic regurgitation that was caused by the radiation. In 2011, I failed a stress test and had a stent inserted into my left main artery. Now, I have the regurgitation as well as stenosis. I'm going through the process to determine which valve replacement surgery to have. It's been a roller coaster ride!
