Oh tash, I am so sorry that you are young and this happened to you. I sure will keep you in my prayers. I am all for stem cell research. Maybe in the horizon there will be more progress. There are also trial studies going on. There are no words that can express how sorry I am that this occured. I will ask Gods mercy on you and for full recovery. Seek council, and do come back here any time you need comfort and compassion. There are alot of caring souls on this site who will support you through this crisis. I won't forget about you. ginnie
