Описание к видео Dawn’s journey – from cancer survivor to transplant recipient

Dawn Mussallem was in medical school when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Treatment was successful but eventually, Dr. Mussallem, who works at Mayo Clinic in Florida, began experiencing heart failure. She had a defibrillator implanted and went through myriad procedures as she navigated her medical career. As her heart worsened, she was listed for a heart transplant. On Feb. 5, 2021, “the ultimate exchange” occurred – when Dr. Mussallem received a new heart.

She shares her journey as a physician, mother, wife, daughter and 20 year cancer survivor turned heart transplant recipient.
