Stem Cells for me!

I’m on my way to Serbia to the Swiss Medica clinic. I’ll be there for one week receiving a course of stem cell infusions.

I know it is a step into the unknown but I’m willing to give it a try. I’ve had detailed discussions with one of their doctors and feel that it is worth proceeding with.

Wish me luck!

UPDATE

Thank you all for your support.

Unfortunately I was unable to receive stem cell treatment, I have a small lump on the side of my neck which I am awaiting the result of a biopsy. The team at Swiss Medica were insistent that it needed to be resolved. So i am plnning to go back soon.

The clinic, the people, the doctors and the facilities are all 1st class, i have no hesitation in recommending.

Hoping to have a another update soon.

I have heard of this treatment and have read it can have positive results. I wish you luck and success. I’d be interested to know if this is a private treatment? Please let us know how you get on.

Hi,I had stem cell treatment in the UK with the NHS in 2016.

I was in an isolated room for three weeks. I was lucky as although I had acute Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis it was caught early & I passed all the extra tests to ensure my body could take the invasive chemotherapy.

My own baby cells were extracted a month before chemotherapy. These hadn't turned rogue at this point. I was a very serious case without many options. The decision to go ahead even with the risks we're an obvious choice. I wanted to fight this disease

It's a long road to recovery. For me, it's been a miracle.

The main thing is to remain positive throughout all the ups & downs.

I hope this treatment gives you your life back.

I look forward to hearing good news.

Best of luck! We live partly in neighbouring Montenegro so my wife would be interested to know how it turns out. What is your diagnosis, if I may ask? Just to understand what they are treating, please.

Hi, I have fairly standard Scleroderma with Raynauds. The hospital here is very new and modern, Have to say they are very professional but very friendly.

I just think it's really sad that you have to go to another country to get the treatment you need but I wish you all the very best of luck. I hope it turns your life around.
