My valve replacement has been scheduled for July 20. I'll be getting a bovine valve so no Coumadin.
The CT scan that showed I don't need the aorta repaired also showed a growth in one lung. So 6 weeks after the valve I get to go in for yet another surgery to remove that. Anybody had second surgeries soon after their valve replacement?
I wasn't real nervous about the valve (mostly because of what I've read here), but I am scared about the 2nd one.
I feel very, very lucky the growth was found so early and its so small, just nervous. Don't know if this is a post I should be making here since its not just about my heart. Thanks for any feedback.
