Let’s fill this one up

Thanks for that information, Rick – really interesting.

As far as I am aware, transplantation is not considered an option here in the UK. Generally, surgery is considered the best option but, as we all know, diagnosis is so difficult and often so late, that surgery is ruled out.

I would be really interested to know if many transplants have taken place in the USA, and what the outcomes have been.

Love and positive thoughts.

This is a great thing! Since transplantation is still not a widely known or practiced treatment option hopefully this will draw a lot more attention to it and help keep people informed. I firmly believe this is the very best treatment option for the people that qualify for it.

I’m happy to talk to anyone who has questions about it as I went through the protocol, but didn’t end up getting the transplant. There are others here who were able to complete the protocol and transplant who have more first hand knowledge as well. Raye has mentioned that he is very willing to talk to people about his experience with this option as well, you can look him up here by using the search function. Ashley is also very knowledgeable about the option as her Mom successfully completed the transplant protocol.

Only about half or 2/3’s of the people who enter the protocol will be able to complete it due to disease progression/discovery of metastases or other criteria which exclude you from the protocol but for those that make it through it is generally considered the best chance at a cure.

Best of luck to everyone who is looking for treatment options.
