Hi, I have been treated successfully for Aspegillus with IV caspofungin and oral Posaconazole. These are very expensive unfortunately but I'm in the UK at a specialist centre, so the NHS pays. Not sure how it works with your insurance system. Intraconazole was not as effective for me and Vori...

Thanks so much for your support. Have very hoarse voice from amikacin neb now and tight but it's only day 5....

Will try my salbutamol inhaler today. Thanks!

i507del/Del508

Thanks so much susiesmom and glenny. Good news looks like I'm now eligible for another study that may also involve open label. Fingers crossed apparently i507del v similar to f508 mind you a miss can be a mile in genetics! Hoping we all get a chance soon x

I also was misdiagnosed as ddf508 I have just found out I am actually i507del df508. So am actually heterozygous. These results came back to me the week before I was due to start the vertex combo trial, which I have been following for years. Utterly devastated. Any more info on this gene would...
