@jessie1990 Jess, he is most likely telling you all of this to cover his bases. Any time anyone is put to sleep there are risks. I have been operated on more than 11 times. I'm obviously still here. Maybe he mentioned your heart because of its proximity to the tumor. But remember, they were in that location before, and you came out of it. I know it is difficult, but try not to worry until you have a reason to.
