About Me (In My Own Words)
I developed aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease as a result of radiation treatment for Hodgkins Lymphoma. I have been a survivor for almost 49 years now. Diagnosed with HL in 1972 at age 15. I have had multiple late effects from my treatment but am doing very well in spite of it all. I am just one of many, many Hodgkin's survivors who have had similar health issues. I founded a non-profit called "Hodgkin's International" to help others get much needed information and support. Several of our fellow survivors have had heart valve surgery of one kind or another, and HeartValveSurgery.com has been a wonderful source of both inspiration and education for us. THANK YOU Adam for all you do!
