Today, we’re going to talk to Carmen David, who is going to share her experience with an aortic dissection after the delivery of her second daughter, her experiences recovering from that physically and emotionally, how she handled the information of two VUS’s, or Variants of Unknown Significance, and what she’s been doing since her dissection to raise funds for research.
