Living with a LVAD

Good morning, I have both heart and lung failure as a result of living with Scleroderma.

I have recently been asked by my cardiologist how I feel about the option of having an LVAD fitted if I was a suitable candidate. I have done some research on the device but find it quite difficult to find people's experiences of living with one.

Is there anyone out there that could help me please?
