Hi Tina, I am happy for you and encouraged to hear you are still experiencing some symptom recovery after 7 years. It is hard to know with my dad as he can not talk and tell us what he is experiencing. His cell treatment was $11,000 and at that cost only 1 treatment was an option. We were told at the clinic that several treatments can be done and the more the better. He did, in fact, purchase a soft, wheelchair chamber to have at home as there was no other option in his area for HBOT treatments without FDA approval. The chamber was, all in, about $19,000 but well worth the cost if ANY improvements are a possibility. We have noticed cognitive improvements and more words seems to come to him. He has a WONDERFUL young woman that comes to the house 3 days/week and works with him with walking and talking. He is now singing songs and seems to be more positive about his recovery. I wish you the best in your recovery and if you have any other questions please do ask. Let me/us know how you are doing with your journey.

Hi Tina, I am glad to hear you are realizing some symptom recovery still. I always wondered what it was like for my dad since he seems to understand what we are asking of him but can’t talk to tell us anything that he is experiencing. The cell treatment that my dad received was $11,000

Your dad’s progress sounds encouraging! I’ve been looking into HBOT and heard a little about stem cell treatment. Do you feel getting BOTH treatments working together was the way to go? Does your dad use the SOFT CHAMBER from home? What is a ballpark cost for stem cell treatment, and is it a ‘one time’ treatment or is more than one needed? I would love any info from your journey with your dads treatments you could share! Even though it’s been 7yrs since my stroke, after several months in a wheelchair I’m able to walk (using a walker) short distances, not like ‘around the market’ and such. But along with my physical disabilities is my ‘brain fog’ , it’s like i’m ‘me’ on the inside but can’t seem to express my thoughts in conversations, like normal, as if my personality is gone. I guess what i’m asking is if it seemed to help your dad or any of you mentally also?
Best wishes on the road to recovery! P.S. I would love any type of advice from anyone!

Thanks, any info would be appreciated!

What kind of stem cell treatment did he have? Where do they offer stem cell treatment? Does insurance cover it? My brother had a massive heart attack and bilateral stroke a little over a year ago and we are looking for anything that will help.

Jna, so sorry to hear about your sis. I hope you can find some treatment that will help her. As a mom of two boys, my heart breaks for her.
