My sister-in-law who has been a friend for over 20 years has been battling #Leukemia for 5 years, and is now halfway across the country receiving #stemcell treatments.

The treatments themselves are covered by our national healthcare system and my brother's insurance, however, travel, lost wages, child care and other expenses are NOT covered and must come out of pocket.

If you can, please consider contributing to their #gofundme:

Thank you all, and please BOOST for reach!

InstagramHoward G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Cell Transplants To Regenerate Broken Spinal Cord UC-San Diego neurosurgeons now report in the journal Cell Reports Medicine the successful transplantation and long-term viability of neural stem cells placed in damaged spinal cord tissue. This Phase I study involved 4 subjects with spinal cord injuries in their upper spinal cords underwent transplantation of neural stem cells from the NSI-566 cell line. The transplanted cells were well-tolerated. Two of the four patients demonstrated improvement in their motor and sensory capabilities though not all improvement was sustained. This is the first step in using stem cells to regenerate healthy spinal cord tissue. It shows that these helper cells can remain viable and begin to repair devastating spinal cord damage. We can only hope that additional and sustained progress with this treatment approach occurs….someday soon. https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(24)00612-8?_returnURL=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666379124006128?showall=true #spinalcord #injury #stemcell #repair #neurosurgery"0 likes, 0 comments - drhowardsmithreports on January 9, 2025: "Cell Transplants To Regenerate Broken Spinal Cord UC-San Diego neurosurgeons now report in the journal Cell Reports Medicine the successful transplantation and long-term viability of neural stem cells placed in damaged spinal cord tissue.

Hmm, a PRP injection worked for my sister and got rid of her debilitating back pain (sciatica). She strained her back a couple weeks ago and now she's back to being bed ridden. It could have been avoided but a trip to the vet with our 45 pound dog did it.

I hear a lot of athletes get their back pain fixed with injections instead of surgery... She might have to get another shot or something. Anyone have any experience?
