She rides again?

that's my surgeon, that is.

"There are treatments for wet AMD but not for dry AMD."

Unfortunately, I have the dry kind, but there's hope.

Well its a good way forward...
Though this quote got me...

The hope is that this can be processed into a layer that can be injected into the patient's eye during a simple 45-minute operation.

45 minutes to inject a eye can't be that simple.

[Stu]

Here's hoping the procedure can be transferred to Dry AMD for you
"More operations are also planned with the patients' own cells in those suffering from dry AMD to test the procedures effectiveness."
otherwise the money's not going to go to the 10%. At least they're doing something.
Wish you the best.

Fingers crossed for you...

I know how much you miss it

Wow, well its a start at least, heres hoping it leads onto further good news for you.

I just tapped my desk (knocked wood) for you. Hope they devise something to help you soon.

Go Go Dr De Cruz.... making progress at least, fingers crossed one day

Fingers crossed for you, hope they find that cure soon!

See, if there's hope for you then I'm still holding out for a robotic leg with a gun holster in the thigh (a la Robocop).

Hey, I can dream.

Seriously though, it's nice to hear of some medical research that could potentially be of real benefit for you. Normally it's only the 'growing and ear on a mouse' type that makes the news.

Curiosity; so if they asked, would you be willing to be in the first 'subject' group?

He's already asked me. I haven't decided yet. He'll only do my good eye tho, to stop it packing up. So unless they can fix the bad eye, still no riding. But least I'll be able to read etc.
