Q: a Little Girl Had All

I know a little girl who had all and was treated recently by injecting cord blood stem cells into her body! And now she is completely treated from the illness! She is a big reason why I saved my baby's cord blood stem cells. Has anyone further looked into banking?

I was thinking about the benefit of banking my baby's cord blood for himself mostly... However my husband said it's probably really costly and chances are he'll never need it... But what if he needs it one day?.... It's kindda like insurance in a way... But we're not just talking money here, we're talking about saving his life... I really don't know what if i'm going to have it banked or not. I guess it all comes down to $.

I would love to be able to do it, but it is very costly...The first year is the most because you have to have consultations and stuff and they charge you for that...But here in canada I was reading it's something like 1000-2000 dollars for that first year...And then I think it's something like 100 dollars a month after that...So it still works out to be over a grand each year. I just can't afford it :( but i'm sure that it will be one of those things I regret not being able to do.

I looked into it when I was pregnant and would've loved to, but it's way too expensive. I could've never afforded it. Now, maybe. But certainly not then!

I absolutely recommend saving your cord blood! When I was pregnant I was considering banking the blood and now I don't regret doing it. It is considered an health insurance for my family! My mother-in-law insisted on going with cbr. I called them and they were really nice from answering all our questions 'til following up with us after labor.
I hope that more people look into saving their cord blood because so many diseases can be treated.
