Heart Myxoma

They found that little sucker on my left atrial after the last ECO test. Scheduled for surgery Thurs 4/8 to have it removed. They are afraid that if it ever broke loose it would probably be lights out. Not good🥺

Has anyone else ever had the procedure? They're hoping to be able to go in the less atrusive way & not have to crack me open. Recovery time can vary maybe even up to a month, ouch 🤕. Fingers crossed 🤞

    Glad it was caught in time! Really hoping they don't have to break you open, certainly would enhance recovery time if they don't. The downtime will be a drag for sure but do what they tell you and it'll all work out,

    Congratulations on finding it early, these are usually found postmortem.

    My wife had open heart surgery to have a 4" one removed from her heart 7 years ago. Bits and pieces of it began to break off when she was teaching an exercise class, that's how she found out about it. She is lucky to be alive.

    PM me with any questions and I'll do my best to answer. Godspeed on your surgery and recovery.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for all the prayers & well wishes. Much appreciated & needed.🙏

    This really caught me off guard. I was doing great since surviving my widow maker heart attack back in 2016.

    I had no inclination that I had this thing. Apparently there really aren't any tell tail signs. Luckily they found it on my latest routine ECHO test.

    After all my pre admissions testing it looks like they can do the less intrusive surgery & won't have to crack me open. Great news. I can't wait to get this over with! 🤕

    To be continued 👍

    Best wishes from a fellow widow maker survivor. You obviously got lucky again. Looking forward to hearing from you post procedure.

    That’s crazy
    Depending on location, you might not need a full open chest. My guess is your surgeon is special. This is not for the faint of heart. Good luck!
