Im so sorry to hear that Dar. You must be feeling very low so hope you have friends or family to rally round. I'm sure they can do something for you, but still must have been a shock. :therethere: Hope you have better news soon xx
Same from me Dar, I hope you have lots of family and friends around you at this time kiss
I was 38 yesterday and I had a heart attack in January 2005 so beat ya there lol
A transplant is the last thing they will be thinking of doing...
I had angioplasty and stents done in May 2005 and its almost keyhole surgery now...
They enter via the main vein in the groin area and its an overnight stay in hospital then home the next morning....
Keep your chin up as it may seem like its the end of the world but really it isnt....

It still sounds like a heart disease which is what a heart attack is...
Still, I don't think someone would have suggested to him he would need a transplant unless it was absolutely necessary ie for severe CAD, cardiomyopathy etc, people who have heart attacks don't generally need a total heart replacement!
For Dar, I truly hope that isn't the case, but if it is, pm us know if you do need any advice...

Forgive me for putting across my real experience of heart disease across and for pointing out that in todays modern world it certainly shouldnt be considered the end of the world.....
I'll shut up and go back to my corner rolleyes
Mallock was simply offering his experience of his heart attack... Are people not allowed to do that now?? dunno

:shock: you only look 21 lol *hijack over* redface
I dont know you but I am sorry to hear your news and I am sure you must be in shock. Like many things in life, once you have the full facts you will know what to do. Hang on in there as it will take time to sink in. I wont say dont worry as thats what us humans do but technology and medicine have moved on rapidly so dont give up hope on any level. There is I am sure many ways forward to managing your condition. I wish you the best of luck in the coming weeks.

Dar,
Sorry to hear you are not so well, I am sure your Doctors will advise you for what is best medically for you.
But I am sure that they have already suggest you look at your life style (and I know it is boring) but may be stuff like:-
No/cutting back on:-
Smoking
Drinking
Stress
Looking at your work / the way you work
Lifting heavy stuff.
etc
etc

Must be a shock.. No matter what anyone says it will have hit home very very hard for sure.
Whatever is wrong there are so many methods available nowadays to help, I truly hope one is found that will suit your own condition..
Good luck, try to think positive, hard right now I'm sure but try all the same.
Bless you fella...

You may well be able to continue without any further intervention, but if things can be done to improve your situation they are all worth considering. After all, you wouldn't refuse to have your appendix out if it needed surgery.
I had a heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) in May 1991 and survived fairly reasonably. However after further problems I had balloon angioplasty similar to Mallocks in January 1992 and found that it fixed a lot of problems. The last 15 years would probably have been very different without that intervention and I'm really glad with the decisions I made then.
Whatever you decide in the end, I wish you all the best, and a long and happy life.
