I'm terrified of a surgery
I never realised that a correction of my pectus excavatum is an option. My mom always told me I was to old for surgery. (I'm 25 and shes only researched options when I was little) Now I was send to a specialist with the intend to whatever he says I won't do the surgery. Then I saw my CT Scan and well. It isn't great. I got a Haller-Index of 5.1 tho he rounded down. He said it looks pretty bad and he now send me to do the Stressecho. If that is conclusive with the restriction of the heart he said I really should considered the surgery. I have been crying these past two days due to pure fear. I've never been in a hospital, I've never had surgery. I wish he would have told me if I should do it or not. Now I'm so torn. Of course I will wait for the Stressecho. But if I dont do it, will my live as I get older also get worse? Will I regret it? I know the surgery get riskier the older you get. It's just somethjng I wasn't even thinking about two days ago and safe to say I am overwhelmed.
