Hi. I am seeking help... I have diagnosed with a rare eye condition called choroideremia. Because of this life changing disease, I am completely blind in my right eye and what sight I have remaining in my left eye is like looking through a straw. I'm told that the only hope for me is stem cell therapy and that trials for that will not begin for at least 5 to 10 years from now. By then it'll be too late for me. Can you or anyone please help me to find any kind of help... please.....
