Louise's Story

II have been a lung cancer survivor for one year. Had to have pacemaker put in because of irregular heart beat. Also my heart started beating 169 beats a minute so had to have surgery to cut some electrical connections so heart would not beat so fast. Am now completely dependent on pacemaker. I have end stage COPD so this adds to the problems with my heart as fluid build up around the lungs and heart. Thanks for your support.have been a lung cancer survivor for one year.
