Rejected for stem cell treatment

This lady got rejected in Australia to do stem cell cause she is 47 years old. Sorry her gylenya wasn't doing the job anymore. Now that's do disappointing. I HAVE MS NOW FOR nearly 17 years. Been on betaferon 1 month Also gylenya for 1 year Copaxone 1 month and half Steroids tablets 1 week and half. Now nada ( nothing) I'm going read more about the stem cell but I'm 47 so maybe it's too freakin late. http://m.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/canberra-life/canberra-mother-to-head-overseas-for-stem-cell-therapy-to-avoid-life-in-wheelchair-20160108-gm22kk.html

I read that newspaper report, @anawith1n . Was it a case of refusal of treatment or is it that stem cell treatment isn't yet available in Australia? The latter was my interpretation.

@Anawith1n

Yes it's available but this lady was told that she is too old 45 years old is the age they consider. I'm bloody 47 too.
