Hi @Munchkin
How are you doing today?
I am sorry to hear about your radiation side effects and this surprise potential heart surgery. How are you taking the news? How are you coping? That sounds like a lot of news to handle.
Have you started making plans? What is the time line?
Take care,
Lizzi from the Carenity team

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. I was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer four years ago. I went through thirty sessions of radiation, a couple of months of chemo, and then a year of immunotherapy. It's a lot to deal with and I feel for you. I'm dealing with the the shortness of breath, but not a lot of pain. You are the first person I have messaged and I wish you all the best!
