Hi, I'm Tillie from California. Thank you for adding me. I found out in 2011 that my brother had HOCM. I was asymptomatic at that time and was told by a local cardiologist that I didn't have it and never would. I then became symptomatic two years ago and was lucky to find a knowledgeable HCM cardiologist. In June of this year, my cardiologist recommended that it was time for a myectomy. I am scheduled to have one on December 30 at the Rochester's Mayo.
