David,

My pinprick-sized tatoo that shows the lower boundary of the radiated area is about 3+ inches below my collar bone. The cardiologist is concerned that the effects of this exposure may have caused a blockage to the heart to form, I think either by scar tissue or constriction, but until the tests I'm a little shaky on the details. I'll be full of questions for him after he see's what's what.
