Guys, I'm a 29 year old with hemophilia type B. They have been saying this to me since i was 13. "Oh we are 4 years out, 6 years, 5 years." I don't think I will see the cure in my lifetime.

I have hemophilia B, too. When I looked up the price tag for this gene therapy, it said $3.5M for one dose. So I don't know how anyone could afford it. Not exactly pocket change.
I know you guys are trying hard, but just come on, hurry up I just wanted to mention: 7 years have pasted.
