    @acutesinu777 Hello: Balloon sinuplasty is definitely available at our centre. It is effective when indicated and used appropriately. The balloons are not covered by MSP, but the procedure is definitely available at the St Paul's Sinus Centre. Please feel free to call our office or get a referral for a proper workup.

    Hi Dustin, I’m Pat🙋. I have Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis. There is no known cure but it is felt it is an immunological response to fungus that we breath in the air. I have had three surgeries in the past five years to clear my sinuses & help control my disease. I too have done special rinses. I am presently in the aPDT (blue light) study as all other treatments have failed. I hope to not just help myself but help others from the data that Dr.Javer & the team collect. Dr.Javer’s commitment to us patients keeps me going in body, mind & soul. I hope to encourage all of us patients in our journey as you know some days are good & some are not. I want to brainstorm with other patients to see how we can fund raise for research funds to continue these important studies. Any thoughts send them out! Pat🙏
