Excellent news from my pulmonologist: on today's stress test they observed good vascular gas exchange. Repeat echocardiogram next month will verify whether right side cardiac hypertrophy has resolved; if so, we'll repeat right-heart catheterization testing and try discontinuing medication. I am deeply grateful for everyone's support and very hopeful this incredible good fortune will continue and allow me to actually beat this thing ❤️❤️❤️
If you're unfamiliar with pulmonary hypertension, read up on it sometime: it's a trip through many fascinating and very important processes in the body -- many of which are only recently discovered, and still pushing the frontiers of medical science -- that everyone should know about!
