Default Stem Cell Transplant
Has anyone had an experience with autologous stem cell transplant or have thoughts on this? I've read positive articles but where are the success stories? I know that if it were any of us here, we would be sharing our experiences.

Other than the cost, I do not see any drawbacks.

There are different types but I am specifically referring to autologous stem cell transplantation for PN.

That is mentioned in the site I gave. Autologous stem cells are from your own body. You probably already know this. I did not. Learn something every day.

Have you seen/read anything about stem cells being used for PN specifically?
