What is your fear?

Let's say

There has been a recommendation already, uh, not to fund this drug, Sky Claris.

What what if the final decision tomorrow is no, it won't be funded?

What is your fear?

U and if this and it will, that's the nature of the the illness, isn't it?

Friedrich's ataxia.

I i if it continues without the drug, let's say, is it that the quality of your life and your independence is diminished or restricted?

Or is it worse for everyone?

Yeah.

Um I'm thinking as I talk to you as well of a a very good friend of mine in college.

Uh we were in the same class for four years.

And he had Friedrich's ataxia and it's the first time I got an understanding of of uh Friedrich's ataxia or FA as you're calling it and how he was affected.

Um and he sadly passed away a short number of years after we left college.

So I I know what what you're talking about, I know about the impact of all of this.

When you're saying you want to be there for your daughter.

I mean, how does it f make you feel then?

D do you worry about that then, of not being there?

Uh did I hear you correctly?

Did you say that you were first diagnosed in March of twenty twenty?
