Heart infection

Hi had a aortic valve replacement plus aortic repair and single bypass. Got a post op infection no serious symptoms just a low grade fever. Had a pet scan which still shows some level of infection despite,8 months antibiotics therapy. May need a re op is there anyone out there who has had anything similar. Anxiety about it starting to get to me.
