Hi all. It has been 3 years since my diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, and the two heart procedures I received from the Mayo Clinic. The 1st procedure was septal reduction by alcohol (it did not work), then I was finally given the option to have the septal myectomy (which I researched and wanted in the first place) and that went very well, thanks to Dr. Hartzel Schaff. This is just a snippet of my story. I have been looking for a support group for quite sometime, that did not charge a hefty fee yearly. I am interested in listening to others experiences as I have felt alone in this journey from the start.
