Hopefully someone will get some updates. Since I am living in NC and have been in touch with Dr. Seaman (who is in Nigera) and also contacted the person taking his place I believe her first name is Elizabeth and still no follow up. Also contacted Adam Lynch he did direct me to someone no reply. I had the blood work done down here and Dr. Seaman had it sent to hospital in NY came back positive 50% mutation. I will continue to check the times news for updates. Thank God for the local paper.
