Leukemia Patient To Receive Cord Blood Stem Cells!

Are you or a loved one interested in receiving stem cell treatment? For free information, please fill out our treatment form or email me don@repairstemcells.org and just put TREATMENT in the subject box and the MEDICAL CONDITION in the message.
Cameron Hardy is a 19 year old man living in Carson City, Nevada. Last year, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors say he needs a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant to save him.Unfortunately, they couldn't find a matching donor. This is the reason why I constantly implore my readers to register! register! register at http://www.marrow.org and maybe you will have the opportunity to save somebody's life. Despite all the success stories I show you here, there are many I can't tell you- the ones where a matching donor isn't found.  Therefore, the more people who register, the better chance these sick patients have.

Well, these days, bone marrow transplants aren't the only game in town. Now, we have cord blood stem cell transplants to work with too.  Since time was short, Cameron's doctors began searching cord blood registries.  Luckily, they have found a match, and now Cameron has a great chance to survive. The stem cell treatment is very similar to a bone marrow stem cell transplant-- if it goes according to plan-  the stem cells from the cord blood will survive in a patient's bone marrow and produce healthy white blood cells. Here is more:

Despite hundreds of people showing up for bone marrow testing on behalf of Cameron Hardy, no match was found. Now doctors have scheduled the Carson City 19-year-old for a cord blood transplant, his mother said Wednesday.


The transplant team (was) unable to locate a donor match for Cameron and were concerned at this point that timing was now their main focus. UCD began searching cord blood registries and came up with two that matched each other as well as being a good match for Cameron, Lynn wrote.

Lynn expressed her gratitude to the hundreds of people who showed up on June 22 to be tested for a bone marrow match for Cameron.

You all mean so much to us and we know you are all keeping your chins up with great faith and positive attitudes. Remember: Two Thumbs Up,as Cameron always says.
