waiting for genetic test results

Thanks for all the responses again.....

Laras Pulmonologist said the results would take about 8 weeks to come back (we went for the test around the 1st week in June) so I'm guessing around the 2nd week of Aug.
It seems as if time is standing still. All I can do is pray that she doesnt have it. The Dr also said that with a number like hers(46mmol) that its very possible that she is a carrier. Is this true? Has this ever happened to anyone else here?

My son had a 50 on both sweat tests
A short scope (100) mutation genetic test wasn't conclusive
Last week he had a new dx procedure, and came out positive, the doc. said today on the phone.
I'm devastated, but at least now we know what he has.
I was still hoping it wasn't ...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
Better luck to your Lara. Anyway, science has progressed so much lately, and new breakthroughs are on their way. It's only a matter of time till they find Da Cure. Or at least I like to think that.

I am so very sorry about your sons DX; I know how hard the waiting is, and agree with you on the devasting news.... from what I have been reading on this site and others about CF, this disease has come a very long way and seems somewhat controllable (if control is possible) with all the new meds out there, so I have to agree with you on that point also. This site has been a huge comfort to me and I guess its because I know that these people are living normal lives as possible with as sick as they are ...but they are LIVING. As long as you remember that and keep your chin up you will be OK.

You and your son are in my prayers spacemom.
