My Heart Team Is Asking Me To Partake In Stem Cell Research. Has Anyone Had Experience With This???

Stem cell heart research The retrieve your stem cells from your lower hip break them down and inject them into the heart wall to try and improve heart function. It sounds painful stem cell retrieval part. And there are a lot of unknowns. But at this point my doctor's only giving me 24 months with the heart I have and I don't qualify for transplant yet. What would you do?

From a Cleveland Clinic study. “Regenerative medicine is an emerging field that uses innovative treatments to help regenerate or heal cell function that’s lost due to aging, disease or injury,” I wish you luck and strength whatever your decision and it's certainly not an easy one?

Just a quick couple of questions. How much more time would that give you? How long have you had heart issues and how fast are they progressing? What are the risks verses the benefits?How does your family feel about it? Idk what I would do. So many variables. A whole lot to think about. Tough decision. So sorry. 🤗 Hugs
