One of my friend contracted two different rare disease, and one of his doctor made a similar remark. Sometimes you're really lucky, and sometimes you are really, really unlucky ... It really sucks that so much of those things will probably never be treated properly because there is no incentive to do so. That's why initiatives like this are so great.

  Health has nothing to do with luck, take it into your own hands (instead of other's hand) and you will see why. Stop giving up on yourself.

    Ah yes, all of those people with chromosomal diseases should just take their health into their own hands, because it clearly has nothing to do with chance. </sarcasm>

      So if your genes are bad, you give up on life? /sarcasm

        Not what I said. I was specifically calling you out for this comment: "Health has nothing to do with luck." It was either naïve, ignorant, or a bit of both.

        You have to work hard for health. If you don't.... you'll regret it by the time it is too late.

Doctors have no vested interest in your specific case. Their job is to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Is Regenerative Medicine already advanced enough to cure that, or is it still a long way to go? I don't know a source that I would say is the definitive and best source of information to learn more about Regenerative Medicine, that's why I encourage you to do your own research. I don't want to convince anyone, just give you hope. =) * Hope you get better dude! Larry Page did sponsor research in the field of his disease, but I don't know why he didn't consider Regenerative Medicine or something else promising. Maybe he didn't know about it, or it's less promising than I think.
