  1. Hi SLAG, this is DocChuck.  I had drawn some unexpected fire when I shared concerns of silicosis in uncoated ceramic wool insulated gas forges.....I wanted to update you on the young smith's condition....

     I wanted to give you some follow up regarding the young blacksmith with silicosis from way back in January....he is awaiting further testing for some new nodules  that have appeared, otherwise the lung fields have progressed as expected in their appearance.   If no evidence of cancerous growth has appeared and he is still a silicosis patient, he will be awaiting heart lung bypass.   Given his age and health outside of the silicosis, he is expected to make a full recovery.   I do have a follow up X-ray that I need to remove his patient info for HIPPA considerations....Sorry about my prolonged absence, in that time span, I had lost my Mom and I finally am in remission from my leukemia.

     

    Hope to hear from you soon,

      Dr. Wright,

      I am sorry to hear the news that your mother died. You have my sympathy.

      Late middle age brings on the death of parents. (and most of their generation) It is ineluctable, but sad nonetheless. I have been there so I can empathize.

      Good news about your remission.

      Yesterday, I read a report of a new breakthrough in immuno-therapy. They used CRSPR- (cas9?), to enter T-lymphosite  cells,  (T-car cells) to edit their genome to destroy melanoma cells etc.

       In vivo experiments should follow shortly. No virus were used.

      Check out,

      P.M. me with your e-mail address so I can keep you apprised of such developments, off this site. I read the science and medical press reports for about 4 hours each day.

      Such correspondence, here  is,  I think,  not suitable for a  blacksmithing site.

      Good luck to your silicosis patient.

      SLAG.
