Afew of you have been following my progress on my blog but I wanted to make sure this was available to all and provide a final update before I have aother stem cell treatment in the future. I was seen last week at a major medical center with three days of testing. The greatest news was that my pulmonary function tests were essentially the same as two years ago. My Echogram was normal and my chest xray unchanged. As all of you know, since we suffer from a chronic progressive disease not to have seen a decline was close to a miracle for me. I, of course, attribute my results to the stem cell treatment I had and to Stem Cell Advance. I have been participating the SCA protocol for about 5 months. I think the SCA has also helped and I advise everyone to consider taking it. On a spiritual note (I'm not a religious nut) I also believe the prayers of friends have also helped me to cope and survive. I am grateful to Barbara and Jeannine for starting stem cell pioneers; we are all benefitting. Happy Breathing. Pat
