Dear Anonymous, 

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Having feeling sounds promising however, the best person to ask this question to is her doctor. The reason why we cannot give you this information is because we are not doctors and more importantly only her attending physician knows her history and what her prognosis is. Please make a list of questions you'd like to ask this physician and make sure that all of them get answered for you.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
