Ktsmom it's OK, <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> actually when the dr. first said that I thought maybe she was being ironic or something, but when my son came out and said it was a piece of cake and it would have been even less if he wasn't nervous, I had to believe her...

Thanks for the kind wishes! they are reciprocated, and yes we must hope and be optimistic... science advances so quickly these days, I have faith in it.

Hi Spacemom,

I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with the frustrations of a tricky diagnosis. It sounds to me as though your son is in good hands though.

Also thankyou for sharing your knowledge about the rectal biopsy and chloride channel study. It sounds very interesting. I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Good luck!

Where did you get the idea a baby with CF would <b>have to be </b>aborted??? Is that a law in Europe that I'm not familiar with???

Yes, carrier testing of the partner ahead of time is usually chosen, then you can decide from there what you want to do. Some people choose to move forward and take their chances.

Are you also aware that if you son does in fact have CF he runs a pretty high likelihood (something like 98%) of not being able to get a woman pregnant (in the conventional way) Many men with CF have CBLVD. That is a lack of the vas deferens -- the little tiny tubes which carry the sperm out of the testicles. They have sperm -- it just can't travel out. In vitro is still an option.
