In search of hope, help for heart

I'll let all of you in on a little secret. When the big boss isn't around, Stem Cell Guy likes to surf the internet on company time. Recently, the boss went on a short vacation so Stem Cell Guy had the opportunity to surf the internet and catch up on some recent stem cell stories. SCG came across a fascinating vignette describing recent Theravitae patient Stephanie Miller.

As you will see from the story, Stephanie has the will of a true warrior and nothing was going to stop her from coming to Bangkok to get her adult stem cell therapy for her coronary artery disease. This quote from Stephanie says it all "You stay home and die or you go there and try."

Stem Cell Guy wishes Stephanie the best of health and hope those adult stem cells start working their magic very soon.

Stephanie Miller had bypass surgery, and doctors twice propped her clogged arteries open with stents.
Still, the 54-year-old Madison woman's heart deteriorated. Her cardiologist said she risked an early death.
Miller, not willing to give up, sought help far away: She traveled to Thailand for an experimental stem-cell therapy.
