‘It is just a chance you have to take’

A YOUNG Irish mother with multiple sclerosis (MS) says revolutionary stem cell therapy has turned her life around.

Selina Daly, 34, from Bandon, Co Cork, who was diagnosed with MS in September 2002, says she immediately noticed an improvement in her condition after receiving the treatment in the Netherlands on December 8 last.

The treatment, not yet clinically approved, uses stem cells from newborn babies’ umbilical cords and takes just a few hours to administer.
