Jim, I was very interested to read about your surgery. My partner and I are actively looking for a Doctor that performs the fetal tissue implants and never did I think of looking into the pig fetal cells. I knew it was out there but never believed it was to a point yet where it was actually being done. We have just finished a diary and video tape session for the last two weeks for the study on fetal tissue implant at the University of Denver. I am finishing the diary portion and then will send it off for evaluation to see if Tom is a candidate for the surgery. In the meantime I found information about Harvard and that they are doing it there also but not in the blind study format that Denver is doing it. I am waiting for a response from them now. I will contact your doctor and see if we are able to work through him for information and the possibility of having this done also. As we progress with our research I will also post it on the network. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I will think of you often and always be wondering what you are noticing for improvement this week! I hope and pray that there is much success with this type of implant surgery since it could be a wonderful breakthrough for all. Sheila De Vine [log in to unmask]
