Friend of mine has an uncle in a trial in Boston.
Uncle had advanced COPD and otherwise healthy. 60-70 year old.
Stem cells were removed and instilled back in his lungs. After 5 tears on o2 he can breathe normally.
this is the future folks.
Chickensoup, the stem cell treatment success sounds fascinating! I did not know anyone was getting this treatment in Boston. Do you have any other information, like clinic name or doctor? I have a young brother with COPD that is now being considered for a lung transplant. The stem cell treatment sounds like a much better alternative, or at least something to try before undergoing a transplant! So, if you have any info that could be shared, I would appreciate your help!
