Thinking about Stem Cell Transplant September 2009

Anand in remission, what a good news, still the lurking fear is always there at the back of ones mind.
It is so easy for doctors to predict that you are fine.....I started reading alot on net and praying to nature to guide me, one day I received a mail from my friend Meenal about a fruit called GRAVIOLA and its miracle propreties on healing cancer.

I started googling and finding more about this fruit, the most difficult part was to get this fresh fruit, luckily another of my friend was going to srilanka and fortunately he could get this fruit, initially we got 5 of these fruits, which are huge ......they taste like ramphal in INDIA..anyway he started having little everyday....next on amazon I could get tablets as well as juices, all this is available in America..I started fruits juices and now he is taking tablets  of graviola 500mg everyday.You should verify with your doctor and take any supplements. Anything new start little and then increase the dose weekly or monthly.Anand is now on 3 tablets daily...

After remission either you go for stem cell or maintenance. We met Dr Advani and took his advice on what is to be done..both our good Dr advised stem cell autologus transplant. Where is another question, everybody advised to go to America, England, Singapore and India....on your affordability in that order.We visited Vellore which is excellent for stem cell transplant...Mumbai we were not comfortable and convinced...Dr Advani gave us a name Professor Powels of England who has specialization in stem cell and multiple Myeloma..luckily he was able to give us his number as well.  As luck would have it he was visiting INDIA  in the near future and was ready to see us.

What a fine person he is...he made us comfortable and was able to tell us more about stem cell transplant.
