Perhaps Cece another procedure would work, but not everyone can afford the cash, again and again. She had to borrow from family. Either coming from Canada, or other countries, or if they are in the states here, their insurance might not/won't pay. She had to borrow from family to travel. I could paw...

Dr. Siskin gave me tPA on a balloon catheter when I restenosed. It's a drug that breaks up clotting and helps the vein heal after clotting and before stent placement for added adhesion. It is very much the same as Paclitaxel is for clot disolving, which is: Drug-Eluting Balloon Catheters http://medi...

I wonder if LDN would help her?

Unless.. The Neurologist or MS Specialist prescribes a drug that could possibly kill you. We have seen this during drug trials, and after too, when they give you a list of drug choices to pick from. Many chemo drugs on the market for MS. Even that latest drug Gilenya has risk. Fingolimod has been as...

Mark, thank you. That was priceless. :D Enjoy your time with your beautiful family. You certainly worked hard for it. I wish you a nice, safe trip and back again, with a smile on your face when you return. That good deed, to help people, and by spreading the word CCSVI, was truly a great gift to giv...

I think Cece is missing the caffeine from her DIET PEPSI.

More coffee anyone? That Pepsi stuff will kill ya. My Dad said he could pour it on a car and it would take off the paint. Yikes!

It's a start. Everything has to start somewhere, even if inch by inch.
I sent this site on to friends of mine around Alberta. Just in case they missed it. Some were part of the Flash Mob. They probably know all about it. Maybe the Clinical Trial will prove helpful. I hope so. Thanks Cece.

Hahaha.. Trish you are too funny.

Cece, you look younger in this picture, than the last one you sent me. :) I told you that Dr Kenneth Mandato was very handsome, more so in person. :wink: He and Dr Siskin did my first procedure. Later on he listened to me talk for a long time. He is compassionate and has a great bedside manner. Perh...

Hi mirandaamos,
Congratulations.

We're happy to hear your good news. Did you want to tell us a little more about your experience? You wanted to spread the message you said, so tell us was this your first time? Did you have many blockages? What was ballooned?

Cece, have a pleasant and safe trip home. I hope all your veins stay open and flowing for good. Enjoy the colors and brightness in the eyes of your children, and husband too. Do you have those blue eyes too?

Turbulent blood flow. Narrowing or kinking in a neck artery (carotid artery) or vein in your neck (jugular vein) can cause turbulent blood flow, leading to tinnitus

What wonderful news. Yippee! You are good to go. :D I'm happy it went well for both of you. I hope you can get to see some sights and make it a medical treatment, medical symposium, and vacation all in one. Are you staying past next Monday? Dr Sclafani is usually right, you should know never to bet ...
