One of my fellow M.S. friends is going to Panama City, Panama for a stem cell procedure. She has secondary progressive M.S. and is hoping for any type of improvement. She will be leaving at the end of March and my thoughts and prayers go with her!! Good luck Elaine!!!

I'm with jimeka , My thoughts and prayers go with your friend, Elaine. Please do keep us posted of her procedure and afterward. I for one, if I had the finances, would definitely get the procedure of HSCT Stem Cell.

Well, best of luck! Just don't catch malaria like my grand dad did while supervising the digging of the canal! LOL! He lived with it for many, many years. When it acted up, it was highball time?!?! I was a kid, so I didn't know. Hope it works!

When she was informed she had the disease that was stage of MS she had. I think she told me it was almost ten years before she was told it was MS, as to is it safe I can not answer that she is hoping if you look on you tube you can find people who have had it done . Elaine is not expecting to walk she just wants any type of the Improvement hoping for the best
