My wife has been battling numerous Grade 3 meningioma. Over the past 3 years, she's had over 30 MRIs, 3 craniotomies, and 90 radiation treatments. Now we have just found 2 more tumors. We are in desperate need of stem cell treatment to try and kill these pervasive tumors. Does anyone know of an individual/institution that would consider treating my bride? We feel all future treatment is time critical.
Thank you,
