Did anyone here bank their babies cord blood?
I never really thought about doing it, or even donating it. Recently one of my wife's relatives benefitted from cord blood that she needed fighting her cancer. I never really thought about it, I did read it can cost anywhere from $1400-$2300 to bank, plus a yearly fee. I think I would just donate it, to help anyone that needed it.
Anyone ever done it? I'm really interested to see if someone banked it for themselves and ended up using it. |

Really? That's some interesting info. I had some hyperbaric chamber treatments for a short bit but didn't know what it was supposed to do.

But honestly, I think science is pretty close to being able to create usable stem cells for anybody. Personally I wouldn't put much money into this, because that high cost could be completely unnecessary in less than a decade.

I know its probably a pipe dream though but you never know and IF by some miracle one day it came about and we hadn't saved it we would kick ourselves, and its only money.
