Suggest Treatments For Leaking Valves In Heart

Due to breast cancer several years ago and the follow up chemo and radiation, my doctor is now telling me that I have three heart valves leaking and, that I would not be a candidate for surgery--do you agree? Do I have any other options to correct my valve problem? This is very frightening. Thanks Sue
