That's awesome, although you don't have a lot of details I think I have what you call the 'weird vein' too, it is the artery/vein that goes from the heart to feed the left shoulder but mine has a stem off it down to both sides of my lungs! They believe that is why when I cough up blood it has been so severe (too much blood supply!) something like that, but my Radiology team knows all about my 'weird veins' they have gone in over 14 times and they should talk to Mike's! I love that Mike is still helping us, we miss him<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
