Hi, Missey - I am also still in shock but trying to work through it all! My CAC score was around 1887 and I was so surprised and dejected. I have gotten a little past that and am praying the Repatha will help. My father, eldest brother, and next eldest brother, and now I think a younger brother who has mental disabilities all have or had heart issues. For some reason, I didn't thnk as a "woman" I would have it. I am like you trying to get things ready, although without the issue of needing financial planners, darn it! 🙂 I finished 36 visits of cardiac rehab last week. at 3 times a week and a friend gave me a nice treadmill which I have used every day but Sunday since I got it. This is huge for me as I was never athletic. I have been type 1 diabetic for 55 years, had Hashimotos thyroiditis since about 1981 which has now destroyed my thyroid, sleep apnea, etc. so no stranger to illness or doctors. I am just doing the best I can and leaving the rest in God's hand. Anyway wanted to wish you good luck with your health! Nita

I wish you well. Thank you for sharing that.

What is cardiac rehab?

Good Morning,
Be aware that if you have thyroid problems studies have stated you may be "statin" intolerable. I sure was!!! Best wishes.
