HSCT for RRMS with Dr. Burt on CBS This Morning

Here is the CBS This Morning Segment about HSCT for RRMS, with Dr. Burt commenting on the treatments and results.  There is a short but nice cost benefit ratio discussion about the cost of the treatment relative to MS drug costs.

JAMA Publishes HSCT for RRMS Results

It’s been a long time coming but it has finally happened!

The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has published Dr. Burt’s results from his Phase 3 Clinical Trial for HSCT ( Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant) treating RRMS (Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis)!

Thank you Dr. Burt for saving my life!  I am so blessed to have been able to receive this treatment.

Trying to save another life

I know so many people with Multiple Sclerosis (too many, in fact) which is why I strongly advocate for HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation). I believe that HSCT should be a treatment option that is available to those who qualify for it, especially if the MS medications have failed them, and that insurance helps to pay for it.

My good friend, Katie Hominsky, who was actually a former patient of mine is now hoping to get her treatment at Northwestern in Chicago, like I did nearly 2 years ago. I and several other ladies who live within a few minutes of me, who have had the treatment have been campaigning on her behalf to help her get donations so she can receive this treatment.

We are trying to save her life.

It’s that simple.

And now we are finally being heard! The Medina Gazette has a story on her and tells her journey how medications have failed her and that she NEEDS this treatment ASAP.

Please read about my wonderful friend who needs our help.

We love you Katie and we are praying for you!
