well, my son's pulmonologist called a few days ago.....

his throat culture came back with thrush.....
his stool culture came back within normal limits....

i was thinking this is a good thing. but then she said, the stool tests will be continuous for a while. just because this one was okay does not mean the next will. glad she is being thorough, but, was liking the good news for a change.

still haven't received results on genetic testing. only been 12 days,,,,,seems like a year. keep on praying for us.....thanks again

if you got the genetic testing through Ambry Genetics, you can speak to them on the Families board and check the status of your test <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Gosh this is all so scary!!

I really pray you get answers!

We are going through the same thing you are. My sons sweat tests were 41 and 30 and he is pancreatic insufficient.

i posted on families. not sure if i done it right, and haven't got a reply yet, but i'm sure i will. yeah, the unknown is killing me. i just want to know either way. course everybody here knows what's that's like. and more. timelines? as in the stages of the test? i'm new to this stuff, so a little cf illiterate i suppose. i have read everything i can on the disease, but when everybody gets to talking about specific gene mutations and other stuff, i am a little lost. there are so many different things and and so much to learn. i just wish i knew for sure i guess. thanks for ur replies though.

<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">well, i have sorta good news .....i think.
wade's pulmonologist called and said the initial part of his test showed NO DF508. she said this is good news, but not all clear, can still find other mutations. so i am very happy to at least know this much,,,,,,,but i am just wondering "does it occur very often to NOT have the common gene and still find rare ones and still have cf".....please share any stories or knowledge on this. thanks so much....carrie (wade's mom)

Carrie -- I believe the DF508 accounts for 60% of all cases of CF. The other 40% are people who have 2 mutations other than the DF508, my daughter included. Its good to hear that she's cleared that one hurdle, but unfortunately I wouldn't put much stock in it meaning much -- there are nearly 1500 (or over?) other mutations. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Ya, I hate to say it, but not having DF508 by no means clears you from not having CF.... although I do wish you the best.

Keep us posted.
