About Me

I'm a 47 years old, otherwise healthy male. It was total shock when first diagnosed on May 2015. It's been really frantic 4 Months researching about the disease and searching for hospital/surgeon. Have discussed with 4 surgeons and finally decided to go to the CC, hoping for a repair, not replacement of aortic valve. Now it is time to walk the walk.
