Cord Blood Stem Cells Save Texas Woman's Life

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.
Another day, another life saved by adult stem cells.  Today, I present to you Amanda Swink, a Texas native who was suffering from what sounds like leukemia, although the reporter fails to mention that, instead saying she suffered from "cancer of the white blood cells."  Maybe I am nitpicking here, but this does seem a little strange so I thought I would point it out:

For 20 years, Swink had taken daily injections to beat a blood disorder that robbed her of natural immunity. But because of the treatment Swink developed cancer of the white blood cells, Dr. Edward Agoura of Baylor University Medical Center said.

However, in the grand scheme of things, that is meaningless because Amanda Swink still has a life thanks to her stem cell treatment:

A newborn's umbilical cord blood is typically thrown away but it can save lives. Amanda Swink is one patient who overcame a life-threatening disease because of cord blood treatment

Swink is now back to working full-time, is cancer-free and is cured of the immunity-robbing disease that kept her sick all her life.
