Severe heartvalve leakage (surgery)
Hello all. It’s been 2 years, and today we have heard that my mother (65F) can not go on any longer without surgery. Her left heartvalve used to be worse than her right heart valve, but as of right now, her right heartvalve has gotten much much worse. The doctor told us she needed surgery ASAP. They were talking about an open heart surgery.
I’m anxious. Words can’t describe how much I dreaded this moment. I don’t know what to do, or expect, or to say. I’ve been crying non-stop. The internet is filled with doomstories. Can you guys share your experiences and possibly take a bit off the anxiety? I guess I just need something to hold onto.
