Hi Ellen,

Heart failure? You too? Five years ago? Sorry! I was diagnosed a month ago and I'm all-over questions. Apologies. Please let me introduce myself. My name's Jennifer (Jen). I'm looking for a heart failure group. I am new to Connect, as well. At the hospital a month ago, all I got was this diagnosis out of a clear, blue sky, and an urgent referral to Internal Medicine there - no information. I actually met the internal med. doctor this week, and she gave me some info, so I'm a little ahead over where I've been for this last, scary month.
Is it a group anyone can join, or do you need a special referral (I don't have one)? Please excuse me jumping in on this thread if it's private. I hope this is ok? Thanks very much! Jen

Hi Jen, I'm sure @danab @estrada53 @scottj @bellini and other heart transplant recipients will join me in welcoming you to the Transplants support group here on Mayo Clinic Connect.

Jen, it sounds like you are dealing with heart failure, but not (yet) a transplant recipient. Is heart transplant being discussed as a treatment option for you?
