Its rare.....

He is 17 and its a long shot but I wondered if anyone had anything to offer? Anyone with experience?

He is currently suffering renal failure and has blood in his lungs.

that sounds awful frumpy. I have never heard of it, sorry, but didn't want to pass on by, as it were.

I guess you've read all about it frumpy but I found this which is quite comprehensive.

thanks a bunch, that is really helpful, everything I've found is in heavy medical jargon and I was having trouble sorting out all the info.

Again, didn't want to pass on by but the link may help.

At the bottom of the information is a link to a site by a patient with the disease (though it affects her lungs only), and she has further links on there to more info.
