Fellow AZers, Doug has made a trip to the Dr. It was NOT good news. He has been told that he will not likely be able to have the much needed surgery for his heart valve.:( Smorg has been THE most respected poster here for a very long time! He has been a real trooper while battling this condition, making us laugh often while hurting so much himself. There is a clinical study that, if successful and approved by the FDA, will allow people in Doug's condition to get their valves replaced without having to overcome major obstacles like losing 1/3 of their total weight. Doug seems to be an excellent candidate to be accepted into this trial. I am starting a campaign to get Doug accepted. If anyone would like to send an e-mail to the administrator of the trial, I am including the link below. It shows how the procedure works and has a link to the clinical study. Click here to see how the procedure works! NOT GRAPHIC I will be speaking to the clinical administrator today to see what we can do to get Doug considered! ****JoeyA is making sure Doug & Barbara get this info too!! Thanks to everyone that can help!! Sincerely, Ray EDITED TO ADD UPDATE: Probably time to cease the e-mails, we got their attention! Although Doug has to meet the criteria, doctors are human too. Never hurts to encourage them to do what you want them to do. I'd say this e-mail project is a success, now we have to get Doug's doctor moving. I think we have people working on that end already. Hu
