Dear Debra,
Thank you for your kindness and encouragement. Your support means a great deal to me and my wife.
To answer your question about second opinions, I have consulted three different cardiologists and two cardiothoracic surgeons. All have recommended a redo septal myectomy. Despite that agreement, the thought of another operation is still frightening, especially with the financial challenges of accessing specialist care abroad.
I am still taking medications, including metoprolol, warfarin, and water pills. I appreciate you mentioning other treatment options, and I can ask my cardiologist whether these might be suitable for my particular situation.
I have now emailed the Mayo Clinic International Team, as you suggested, explaining my circumstances and asking about a specialist review and any possible assistance. I am hoping they can help me find a way forward.
Thank you for listening and helping me feel less alone.
