Members discussed their experiences and concerns about stem cell therapy for pulmonary hypertension, with opinions ranging from skepticism to cautious interest. Several members shared that they had researched or contacted clinics, with costs ranging from $8,000 to $10,000, and noted that insurance does not cover the treatment, while one member reported it was a waste of money and another mentioned their doctor said the therapy is not quite ready yet. A recurring theme was the desire for more concrete evidence of effectiveness before committing to such an expensive out-of-pocket treatment, balanced against the desperation many feel for any potential relief from their debilitating symptoms.

I have been looking into this also, I have talked to one person that had it, and his remark was he thinks it's helping, I think for the cost of it - about $10,000, I want a little more than he thinks it is helping. My doctor says it's not quite there yet. here was a presentation on it in my town, but it didn't give me the assurance I would want!!
