Hi Nic

Your message isn't exactly clear, why is your Dad being refused treatment in the UK? Is this where he is from and where he lives? There are many good centres in Canada but of course, the one that I would say is the best, is the one my son was looked after until his passing last year, St. Michaels Hospital in downtown Toronto, Ontario. Excellent reputation, best staff you could ask for etc.

There are some great centres in Canada. I'm from Winnipeg, and the centre here is great, and you get full coverage for meds and treatments. I should also mention that we have no cases of cepacia or MRSA yet. Toronto and Montreal have some good centres as well. Here is a link to all CF centres in Canada:

For Liz:

I was wondering how you know that your clinic has no cases of cepacia or MRSA? Do your doctors share that information with you? This is a question I never even thought to ask.

And to the daughter of Eddie: I hope your dad receives the proper treatment soon. I am sure you are a great comfort to him with all you are trying to do to help him. I will keep you both in my prayers.<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Jem,

I have asked, and they've told me. They also said that while we do not have any cases yet, its almost enevitable that someday we will.

what an odd post. i know UK healthcare is bad but its not THAT bad. there must be some reason why your dad isnt getting treated.
