Thanks for reigniting this discussion about familial hypercholesterolemia. I hope @pcspetpro and @elio will also join the discussion.

@jharsh, how long will each LDL apheresis session be? Will you be going every week or every 2 weeks? And for how long?

They say each “run” will be 2-3 hours. The first will be 3 because they start slow. The plan is every two weeks indefinitely. They will want to see how long it takes my body to replace what is removed. I think I’ve read it takes a body anywhere between 4 days to 4 weeks. Yes, I hope other commenters come back here. Thank you, Colleen.
