A couple of things …

Osler – there is a young man that has a disability retirement from the AF and was just accepted into the sct program. He has tricare and they are paying. But he also sat back and waited for Northwestern to do the insurance thing … he starts his journey end of Dec. He is posting at “CIDP and Stem Cell Transplant” on facebook if you want to contact/follow his story.

Bny806 – while I was going through the sct program, there was a very young man with an extreme and advanced case of Crohn’s. He was so sick, they could not get the stem cells from him. He was treated with stem cells from cord blood. I never asked who donated, but he received the cord blood/stem cells from two different donors.
