Mr. Anderssen,
I have been trying to reach you by phone, but it appears as if your number is no longer connected. Hopefully this email will reach you.
I would really rather talk to you over the phone. Unfortunatly I have bad news for you, and I suppose now that I have said that you can guess what it is, so I might as well be out with it.
I am very sorry to tell you, Mr. Anderssen, that my labs are unable to produce a double-cure. Unfortunatly there are no viruses in existance that are large enough to bond to both genes - we have found a way to make a cure that seems permanant, but unfortunatly if you were to recieve this your Factor IX would no longer work, and you would be under severe threat of bleeding to death. I do have a pathology lab working on the problem of making a larger, and yet stable, virus in which to place the cure so it could attach to both genes similtaneously, but unfortunatly for now the best we can do is offer you a booster ever three months or so for the rest of your life, which can put you in danger of the hemophilia. Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't bleed to death while the cure was working on you.
I am terribly sorry about this information. Please, if you have any questions and can reach a phone, give me a call at the lab. My number again is xxx-xxx-xxxx. As stated before, if I come across any new information that might promise a co-cure I will contact you in whatever way I can immediately.
