ya, i had terminal Lymphomic Leukemia, no cure....
so we found a close match in Germany (adult male age 26) and induced his Stem cells into me. And 3 1/2 years later im still here..
Stem cell research in canada isnt as big a political football as it is in the US...the US seems to have a real issue with the "chord cells" from a fetus...

so in my case the Stem cell transplant extended my life, it didnt cure me, but it gives me more time to review galleries ;)
