    DF508ers who participated in VX-770 trials

    I agree with jmiller. Any improvement and preservation of lung health is worth it to me. Its not a matter of life or death- it can simply be that each person who improves even SLIGHTLY would like the opportunity! MINIMAL improvement is STILL improvement. It could mean less bleeds for her. She...

    DF508ers who participated in VX-770 trials

    So why wouldn't ANY cf patient go forward and ask their doc for an RX of the Kalydeco just to try it? If one person's doctor will give the script, then there should be other doctors that do the same. Who wouldn't want to try it? Except for those whose insurance wouldn't approve it, we should...

    hemoptysis from flying?

    in case you wanted to know: talked to my doc. they said it COULD be from air changes but not necessarily. best thing to do is monitor closely any changes and call if there is a reoccurance or if I'm feeling worse.

    vx-661

    THANKS for posting this update! I always wonder why the CFF does not post this information as quickly as it appears. If they want more participation then why do they not post items as they come available? I find items of value MUCH FASTER on this site than on the CFF website.
