My MAB consists of:
- Husband, ICU Nurse
- Daughter, Nurse Practitioner
- Brother in law, Internal Medicine Physician
- Oncologist, Oncologist :)
- Oncologist's Nurse Practitioner (you get the drift)
- Sisters in law, 3 nurses including a CVICU nurse
They're going to monitor my heart via MRI every 12 months and IF they notice a change in the structure, then have a cath and determine if surgery is needed. That surgery would require cutting a "window" in my pericardium so, needless to day, I'd prefer to delay that as long as possible.
Bottom line, no cath for Kath. In the meantime, he said I can keep doing what I'm doing. He said the condition is "self-limiting" which means if I stress my heart too much, I just faint. That's not bad. My stupid human trick I learned when recovering from my stem cll transplant is how to recognize I'm starting to faint and prevent it. I did it on the Millenium Force rollercoaster, I'm sure I can do it on the bike or in my workout classes.
All that other stuff I listed in my last post, I'm going to get busy doing THAT!
