Survivabilty Numbers Soar!

Last year in San Diego patients, families, doctors, and other health care providers gathered for the first ever ECD Medical Symposium. One result of this gathering was a consensus paper (written by experts in the field) on ECD. I have included the first and last page of the paper here. Send me a message if you want the whole thing.




 While there is no "cure" in sight the good news is that the five year survival numbers have improved. Plus with a standard now set for treatment and diagnosis other will be able to receive an effective treatment from inexperienced clinicians (inexperienced with ECD) in a more timely manner.

Remember, every day is a gift. So live your life to the fullest.
