After receiving unusual stem cell transplant, Coppell toddler comes home from hospital



...Doctors released the 2-year-old from Medical City Dallas Hospital, where he spent nearly two months in treatment for neuroblastoma, which is a fast-growing cancer of the nervous system.

The centerpiece of Caden's care was an unusual transplant, in which stem cells taken from his own umbilical cord at birth were pumped back into his body Dec. 28...

A NEW VICTORY: USING ASC TO TREAT CANCER IS VERY OLD NEWS, BUT USING ASC DERIVED FROM UMBILICAL CORDS IN THE USA IS A BIG STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  OF COURSE, THE USA, BEING THE BANGLADESH OF STEM CELLS, IS WAY BEHIND CHINA IN USING CORD BLOOD TO TREAT "INCURABLE" DISEASES.  (NOTHING IN THE ARTICLE ABOUT FDA APPROVING THIS NEW THERAPY)  MOST IMPORTANT, HOWEVER, IS THIS QUOTE.

Dr. Joel Weinthal, a Texas Oncology physician who is treating Caden, says it's the boy's best shot against a deadly disease that comes back about half the time.  "We're not talking about his being cured of his neuroblastoma right now," said Dr. Weinthal. "It's certainly a very positive thing that he gets to go home from the hospital, but he has a long road ahead of him."


THAT QUOTE IS 100% SPOT-ON.  SO I AM PRAYING FOR CADEN (AND OTHERS TO FOLLOW) TO STAY WELL, THOUGH I SUSPECT HE WILL NEED MORE CELLS IN THE FUTUR.
