Synopsis

Today everyone knows someone who either has or had cancer. In December of 2002, Carol Franz discovered her pain wasn't caused by the humidity in upstate New York. It was multiple myeloma-bone marrow cancer. Because she received two adult stem cell transplants to extend her life, Carol will tell you things only someone who has "walked the walk" can. Blending her sense of humor with an unshakeable faith in God, Carol relentlessly provides up-to-date information that just might save a life. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn of adult stem cell research. Carol had her health returned, but others may not due to lack of adult stem cell knowledge.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

When Carol Franz's husband retired from Lockheed-Martin, she anticipated spending her golden years on a warm beach with a margarita and a good book. Instead, she found herself battling multiple myeloma, an insidious form of bone marrow cancer. Her doctors suggested an adult stem cell transplant to regenerate her blood stream and immune system. Carol, a devout Catholic and pro-life advocate, agreed to the treatment even though she had never heard of adult stem cell therapy although it has been used since the 1960's. When adult stem cells culled from her own body took her from a death bed back to health, she made a decision which she feels was influenced by the Holy Spirit to dedicate her life to helping others. Understanding that adult stem cell therapies work and that no embryos had to die so that she might live was a great influence on her as well. From speaking at small-town Rotary Clubs to standing beside the President of the United States, George W. Bush, as he vetoed a bill that would have permitted the federal tax funding of embryonic research, Carol proves what faith and God's Grace can do. A first time author, Carol J. Franz has been married to Bill Franz for almost fifty years. They have three grown children and four grandchildren. Carol has lived most of her life in Owego, New York except for one year in Apalachin, NY and three years in Burseldon, Southampton, England. She has gone from being educated in a four room school house to educating those in Congress in Washington, DC. Visit her website at www.carolfranz.com
