My doc was in tears when she told me. Sent me to cardiologist and said do NOTHING until I see one. No walking to mailbox, no sweeping, mopping, dishes, etc. My appt is on Oct 17.

Prognosis? 3-5 yrs if goes well.
Sorry MJ, I should have read ahead before posting my earlier comment. I am so sorry for this report. I will continue to believe for the best for you. Why is your appt so far away?

You are in my prayers.
