Hi Cygnus,
Sorry to hear of your malady. My son was diagnosed with the same leaking valve in the heart a couple of years ago. But the doctor said that the leak was a minimal amount and that they would keep an eye on it. As long as it stay that way it would not pose a problem for him. So far he has had no more problems.
Hang in there because the doctors did tell us that if that did surgery it would definitely correct the problem. So if you have surgery I hope that that is what they have told you.
God bless.
