That was GREAT!! It really made me laugh and I can so relate to everything. Well except for the litter box thing. Thanks for posting it!!

So are you saying they are recruiting for Phase 3 of VX809? If so, who did you contact? Do you have any information on the criteria for the study? I was just looking at the available trials and I don't see the phase 3 listed. My husband and I are very, very interested so any information you...

From what I have read in the CF Books that I have, coughing up blood can happen and as long as it's not more than a tablespoon as lilmac1177 indicated, you should be ok. My husband is 55 with CF and in the 7 years we have been together, his first episode of spitting up blood was in January of...

Hi Jane, Thanks for the support. He went to the Dr. today and the Dr. said that his PFT count was down from 43 to 39, but that it wasn't bad considering he has been congested for the past two weeks. He did hear a whistling in his one lung, so they had him cough and afterwards, he didn't hear...
