Stem Cell/ Bone Marrow Donation

Andrew, Jr. · 06-25-2010, 09:22 AM

Soo much can be done with stem cells. I really believe that stem cells kept my sister alive for 3 years after being diagnosed with skin cancer, melanoma. Most die within a year of diagnosis. It was a blessing.

A ton of research is being done at NIH with new stem cells and other various cancers. In fact, there is new thinking about a breast cancer vaccine that Yale & Duke are working on.

It also helps if you have a family history of cancer, and you participate in a swab. It really will benefit so many in the end. I look at it like cord blood from newborns. Just amazing technology nowadays. We just have to look outside the box.
