Is there any other treatment for a left atrium Myxoma Tumor other than surgery? If so, what? Thank you.


Posted by Carol M

I just learned I have a left Atrium Myxoma Tumor and want to research all my options.  The cardiologist suggests open heart surgery but I don't relish the thought of this procedure.  I just want to know that surgery is the best and possibly only option I have before moving toward that procedure.  I am soon to be 69 and want to enjoy my spouse, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren for many more years.  The size of the tumor was mentioned as approximately 4 centimeters with a stem.  Thank you for any information you can give me.
