You know, on my last job we had a lot of stem cell transplants for Cancer.
They only came to my unit when there were complications. I know there is a lot
of hope held out for this treatment, but some of the things I have seen with
the complications have been horrible. When it doesn't work quite right and the
graft versus host disease goes too far after the transplant.....well, there is
still a lot to discover and solve in this arena. Even if I had $100,000, I
don't know how fast I would run to the doctor for this. I suspect the folks
who have complications pay more than this. I am indeed more fortunate in that
I am mobile. But these transplants scare me. Pam
