Question for you

Neil,

Do you know if they are able to do transplants on people my Dad's age? He was told 11 years ago that he was not able to have one. I have two children who we both banked their umbilical cord stem cells . . . do you know of any cases of MDS treated with these cells yet?
I feel like we might be nearing the end. I don't know what we are going to do now . . . My sister is down from upstate NY and I know she will ask the doctors questions. She is very skeptical about cord blood and I am trying to make her realize that these cells have value, if not to help my Dad but to help someone suffering from a serious illness. I always hoped my kids cells could help my Dad . . . oh, I can't thank you enough for this forum . . . it is keeping me going Neil . . .

Donna
