Apparently I've been having strokes for quite some time due to the damage to the arteries supplying blood to my brain, about 100% damage (full occlusion) on the Right side (treatment side);and for some reason 90% blockage on the Left side.

My cardiologist said the treatment would normally include a possible stent but due to the radiation and surgery he isn't willing or able to even try.

He said that the artery has a lot of scar tissue and fibrosis.

I don't know what to do.
