Hi Gale,

My very great pleasure to have made someone else feel better! I mean, of

course there are people with 2xD508 who are terribly ill, and there are

others that aren't. The weird thing is that all the treatment is probably

the same, but there is something keeping some healthy, and not doing so for

others. Damn these genetic modifiers!

One of the debate topics at the recent Oz/NZ CF Conference was " genetic

testing for CF is bad for your health " - I told them that, while I'm very

glad Sian's CF was picked up via mandatory screening when she was 3 months

old, finding out about the diagnosis was certainly bad for my health!

Have a great day, and hug someone soon.
