Her life expectancy was only a few years. Since this initial diagnosis, Maleen has battled this disease every day of her life with amazing courage and resilience. Few people around the world suffer from pulmonary hypertension; thus, researching a cure for this disease would not be an important endeavor for science. A small bag that she always carries at her hips pumps medication directly into her heart via a cathether every 30 seconds - it is the reason she is still alive today. In As If There Were No Tomorrow, this fascinating 18-year-old young woman tells her story for the first time. Maleen's inspirational message: "Every person's life and fate has positive aspects. You only have to search for them."Pulmonary hypertensionGenerated by AIChronically illGenerated by AIPulmonary hypertensionChronically illFischer Maleen1746889BOOK9910151815103321As If There Were No Tomorrow4178665UNINA
