Message your Dr and ask what your prognosis is. I read that info too. When I asked Dr, he believes I have a mild case and thinks it will stay that way.

Thanks I will call and ask. The thing that bothered me was when I read the docs MyChart note from our visit. She made a comment “Will start Jardiance to help with edema and reduce hospitalizations.” She said REDUCE; not “prevent”. This is what really got me going. I’ll message them in the morning and find out what she’s thinking. It’s downright cruel to leave people hanging with no information after receiving this kind of diagnosis. And having to wait another 5 weeks to find out what to expect and what the prognosis is! And then they say “don’t read what’s on the internet!” What else would they suggest? I’m disappointed in the lack of understanding what it’s like when you receive a diagnosis with such a disturbing name: Heart Failure. It scares the heck out of me. Thanks for replying.
