Bev,

Don't worry, this information is public it was published on the New

England Journal at the beginning of the month.

It has been the talk of a few sites since then.

But I talked to our cf doc and he said that Tobi and Genta are very

similar drugs and he wonders if that's the reason why so many people

do so well on Tobi and some other dont.

Also, Genta is suppose to be a very safe antibiotic, but there is a

patient on another list that had a bad reaction to it.

Love to you and thank you for being around,
