I was diagnosed with a congenital faulty aortic valve with a large aneurysm to boot. This was found during the work up to left breast cancer 2 years ago. Went through lumpectomy and radiation then one year later open heart surgery. It was a roller coaster of a recovery but would do it all over again compared to the mental torture of the potential presence of cancer hanging over you for the rest of your life!
