- My Diagnosis, My Story ...
- Just diagnosed with severe heart failure likely caused by chemo / radiation. Treatment was meant to save my life so that I can be in this world for my son. We are alone in the world. My oncologist is very reluctant to think that his efforts to prolong my life may shorten it considerably. My chances of ever having cancer again are 1%, but this damage to my heart happened over a year later. If my 15% Ejection Fraction from left ventricle does not increase to 40% within 6 months, the new doctor in my life, a cardiologist, will install a defibrillator. I heard about adult stem cell therapy outside of the US from a stem cell trial recruiter in AZ. She told me that I will not live long enough for the FDA to approve stem cell therapy for heart failure patients. They are going through years of trials with heart attack patients only. One disease at a time. I found a site where 1/2 pint of blood can be taken from my body, heart oriented stem cells isolated and multiplied in Israel, and the procedure takes place in bangkok.
I need to raise funds for this. I am very encouraged by the man who emailed and phoned me in response to my initial contact. This is the only viable option I can see on the horizon for my heart, and for prolonging my health long enough to provide a home for my son as long as he needs me. We have no relatives alive that he or I can turn to for a home for him, for money for his education, first auto, insurance, etc.
- My Family, My Hobbies, My Goal ...
- My son is 14 and is a natural at the guitar, singing, and acting. He has taken some film classes at the local contemporary arts center and teenage center, sponsored by National Geographic. He is an evolved human being and my favorite person ever. I am not a performing artist like my son is, but am highly skilled at visual arts and have worked on and off in the film industry visual effects. Currently I am merely helping in the industry for one producer, keeping his books straight while he goes off and works creatively. I am happy to at least have circled back around to the fringe of my path, because things were barren financially, creatively and socially for years after relocating to New Mexico when my child was a few months old to save ourselves from being subjected to the only bad person we ever encountered...the so-called "father" of my darling baby. I lost my career, my friends, my connections to all that cool happening that always came to me in California. I turned down major opportunities with world-famous talents just to remove our lives from a poisonous person who could have continuously threatened us had we remained there. I am proud that we survived real hardships and succeeded in the end. If I can combat this health battle and conquer it, and I will need help from caring people in order to beat this, my son and I can make some progress in or lives. I need to make more spiritual progress before I am ready to leave this body. as well. I am not ready to go, and my son is too young to be alone in the world.
I see that my cell phone number is missing 2 digits in "Confidential Contact". Can I edit this? Yvette

Thanks Preston, that is wonderful to hear. Who else do you know of that has gone to Costa Rica that would not mind discussing the journey with a prospie like me?
I believe they understand it as much as they can. Dr. Neil Riordan, who is the CEO of the clinic, has a very good understanding of what is going on...You can find a number of his papers posted online by searching.. He is a research scientist and dir…
Dear Preston, I have Cerebral Palsy and am on the fence about ASCT. I do not have the terrible fear and pain of a degenerative diisease breathing down my neck as you did; I think that makes the leap of faith a little harder for me, if you know what…
