Transplants - Pre and Post
This section is dedicated to those who are evaluating their need of a heart transplant, those currently on a waiting list for a transplant and those who have previously had a heart transplant due to HCM. It should be noted that transplants in HCM are rare; approximately 2-3% of those with HCM will need transplants. We hope this area is helpful to those facing this challenging topic.

The "Hang Out"
This area of the message board is for use by our young adult/teenage users (14-23 yrs old - as a suggestion). It will be moderated by adults. However, posts are FOR young adults and teens. You older folks give them a little space - chime in if you can share some ideas or experiences...but give then the space they need to talk to each other. Keep the language clean, the topics appropriate and have a good time talking to each other!

Upcoming trip to HCM Center
It is nice to know when people are attending various centers for treatment, evaluation or for other reasons. This is NOT a forum for dialog it is for the purpose of letting others know where you are and helping you arrange meeting others, if you so wish. This will be a moderated portion of the site and only those posts approved will be posted here.
Example: Lisa will be at NEMC on January 9, 2006 for the day and would be interested in getting together with other HCM'ers after 6pm Please send a PM.
