Hi, I'm Cyanidetransistor. I was recently diagnosed with HCM by my home hospital. They referred me to Mayo. My Mayo cardiologist says that I am an extreme case and is scheduling a septal myectomy. It has been such a whirlwind tour. No sooner do I get used to my diagnosis, then I'm being scheduled for a scary surgery. I trust the Doctors at Mayo implicitly, its just scary for someone who has had nothing worse than a tooth being pulled. I am here to learn, be supported, support, and commiserate. Thanks for having a place for me.
