I am sorry to read that you are dealing with two serious health issues at the same time. I am unsure what you mean by "cleared." I was "cleared" to have cataract surgery, got the OK from the cardiology office. The same for a dental cleaning after my septal myectomy. In my opinion, your doctors definitely need to discuss together - and with colleagues - how they will proceed, we cannot give medical advice here. Many of us have learned that we need to be our own advocates and be squeaky wheels (they get the grease). Learn as much about HCM as you can, here is a starting place: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy/symptoms-causes/syc-20350198. Are you a patient at a COE (Center of Excellence)? Keep us up to date!

@walkinggirl hi there! I hope they are talking, while I sit here waiting for next step. Hematologist wants heart procedures done before starting therapy. Feel like I'm walking thru quicksand.
