Congestive heart failure, come on down!

You're the next contestant on What the Hell's Wrong with Heather?!

Yes, that's the current theory. Heart failure. Due to chemotherapy. Apparently it can happen years later, and suddenly.

It could also be a clog in the vena cava filter that was installed as a preemptive measure after a surgery I had.

Either way, it's a little different from acid reflux, isn't it?

Boy I'm glad Mom's here to talk to the doctors...

Oh my. That is bad news, but I'm glad it's not something they overlooked. I think in young people, heart trouble can be misdiagnosed quite often.

Oh geez.

I am hoping this is something that is highly treatable.

This may be a good sign to consider moving back to Kentucky?

You're in my thoughts and prayers.
