About Me (In My Own Words)
I'm 48 and have been diagnosed a Barlow disease years ago.
My last echo showed a severe mitral regurgitation, and the need for surgery, which is now planned for November 21.
As I am asymptomatic, it's very difficult for me to admit that, and I feel a huge amount of anxiety. I just can't imagine walking through the hospital door that morning ...
I hope to know during the next days, if I can get a repair and a manual mini-invasive approach.
--Update 16/11/2023--
I'm now in the final week before intervention, which is planned to be a right mini thoracotomy by hand.
I made myself very busy at work the last months, so was quite ok. I am now on vacation ... this is really not a good news for me.
Many thanks to all contributors of this site, it helps a lot (but you know that)
