My name is Brian , I am 29 years old. In 2011,I went to the hospital thinking I had bronchitis or pneumonia. The doctor at degraff hospital ordered an X-ray and noticed that my heart was enlarged. I then had to do a follow-up with my primary doctor a couple days later. She ordered a echocardiogram and a few more tests. I then had to go see a surgeon, dr bell-Thomson. He said that I had a tumor inside my heart and around it and that I have two weeks. Now the pressure is on. I had surgery a few days later and found it was was worst than thought. They had to reconstruct the top two chambers and cut part of the one side. I also have a pacemaker and pericardial patches on my heart. Now 2 years later, I have still have chest pain and other pains inside near the heart. I had to go to Cleveland clinic in march to have many tests done. They said now I have to have surgery again. There is enlargement again and also a leak in the mitral valve which is pretty serious. So this fundraiser is going to help with the cost of going down to Cleveland clinic for my surgery which may be 7-10 days in the hospital. So my mom and stepdad will need to stay in a hotel during those days. Secondly the fundraiser will help during my recovery time. It will go towards any special needs I may need during the time of recovery. Recovery could be 6 weeks to 6 months. I would like to thank everyone in advance for your help!!!! Brian

  • Brian is a personal friend of mine and has a very significant problem with his heart. He has been my snow removal guy for a couple of years. He goes out of his way to do many charitable things for everyone and is very deserving of any assistance you might be able to assist with. Best of luck and god bless Brian!
