Hi and thanks for your response. My husband is seeing a cardiologist at the end of June for the first time. He's 74 and has struggled for years. An internist I saw for something else agreed to see him and that's how he first got diagnosed. His GP knew nothing about this medical condition. He may or may not be put on this medication but I hope they try. I'm pretty sure they'll want to operate but he's kind of scared to have surgery so medication might be a better route.

I think anyone facing the prospect of having open heart surgery would be scared, @chris7121. I was for sure! It's important to learn all you can about HOCM and to have an expert in treating it. The end of June sounds so far away before you learn if he qualifies for Camzyos. If he does qualify for Camzyos, have you started a list of questions to ask the new cardiologist? If he does not qualify for the drug, do you have a list of questions for that too?
