Dear Cellulogix:   I’m Phil D. and I had my transplant the week of May 5th 2009.  We have communicated several times in the past but not lately. I had my 13th month post transplant exam with my Neurologist yesterday June 18th and thought Dr.Nabavi and you would be interested in an update on my condition. I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia (334.8)-C-SPINOCEREBELLAR DIS NEC) in 1974 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn. and subsequently by 5 other Neurologist over time with the same findings.  Below is a quote from my current Neurologist Dr. Jody Reiser, the Dr. who has seen me through the last 13 months of my post transplant progress.

June 18th 2010.  “It was discussed with the patient that there’s been an amazing improvement since his initial presentation 3 weeks after stem cell procedure. He has minimal to no cerebellar findings.  He just has some spasticity in his lower extremities but his strength is amazingly improved in his lower extremities.  The question is is there ongoing benefit from the stem cells at this point and how long does the benefit continue or does he require further dosing and what benefit with the further dosing have for him.”

Thank you for all your efforts and please tell Dr. Nabavi thank you again and I am thrilled with the results that I have had.
