Hello all - Last week I celebrated the 8th anniversary of the experimental surgery (xenotransplantation) in which neuronal fetal pig cells were implanted in my brain. I was fortunate to be involved in this research project. I continue to be fairly functional. For example I drive, cook, clean, etc. All this after nearly 25 years with PD. Although far from cured I am grateful for the benefits of this procedure. Regretfully follow up studies did not indicate that this operation would be beneficial to a significant number of other PWPs. Questions? Feel free to write directly to me. Regards - Jim Finn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
