Maya has a very difficult condition of chronic anemia caused by a problem with blood cell maturation in the bone marrow. Dr. Helfand has exhaustively explored all possibilities for cause and cure. He has gone above and beyond when others ran out of ideas or gave up. He never gave up, always stayed positive,and helped me believe the same. He is brilliant and confident in his expertise and experiencial knowledge. He graciously considers and answers all my questions and concerns with respect and interest. Its been a team effort. Because of his dedication and determination, Maya is not only still with me (3 blood transfusions and 5 months later), but she is now producing red blood cells of her own! And, once again living a joyful, playful and love-filled high-quality life; running in the woods and on the beach, chasing every fresh gopher hole and squirrel tree she can locate. She would not be here today without Dr. Helfand's unwavering dedication, expertise, optimism and support. Maya is my soul mate, my best friend, my "puppy", and he has always understood and respected this. He is our best moral support too; reminding me each week to enjoy her and our time together. And I do! I am so deeply grateful for Dr. Helfand and for this gift of time with Maya. We are closer than ever and I love her even more. Dr. Helfand is THE best. He is our champion. And we are his BIGGEST fans!
