    Really sorry to hear this Malc. As mentioned by yourself and others, take some time before you make a decision.

    Although each individual and case is very different it must feel terribly lonely, however there will be people who are going through and have gone through similar experiences as this. So hopefully there is a support group out there you can lean into for advice.

    I have an Irreversible Stoma @Redmidland . You get used to it pretty quickly . It's certainly not that bad that it should stop you having surgery to save your life . If you want to ask me any questions please DM and I'd be happy to answer them. 
    I've DM'd you. Thanks Malc

    Hi All, just to let you know I've bitten the bullet and decided to have the operation. It'll take place in early May, providing I pass all the tests they want to put me through. I'm now focusing on surviving the operation and trying to make the 1st home game of next season to be at The Valley. I'm petrified of the operation, 6 to 8 hrs is a long time with a heart condition, but the alternative was not good at all.
    Thanks
    Malc
    Wise choice. I’d be surprised if you are ready to go to football by August as the recovery time for these operations are longer than you think . I was ready to go to football after four or five months after both of my ops and I’m relatively young (55) . You never know . Hopefully you will make a quick recovery but don’t rush it .

    I can't really offer any specific advice as such, just to share that I was under for 7 hours for my kidney transplant and it went in a blink of an eye, literally. 

    All the best mate 💪

    A very tough decision to take RM, but seems to me to be the right one. It gives you a fighting chance and you've already proven with your heart condition that you are one hell of a fighter.

    Sending all the strength and best wishes in the world.

    That's a very fair point @DPFC. Im sorry that you've not got a choice, that must be very hard. I wish you well and hope something can be found for you moving forward.

    Has to be the best choice Malc. It’s two very different things I know, but too have a heart condition (heart attack 2013, 5 stents, ongoing medication) and I was under for about 19 hours when I had my failed leg bypass ops 3 years ago so the old tickers can be more resilient than you think!  All the very best with it.

    while not the news you wanted it shows that your medical team have your best interests at heart (sorry) - so it will take a little longer than you hoped but better to take  longer than not return to the Valley - keep fighting Malc.
