Hi Chelsea,

Feel free to email me with any questions at [email protected]

I was diagnosed at at the age of 25 in Sept 2008. I'm still fighting this thing, but I have been through much of what you will have to go through, and I'd be happy to share as many words of advice, encouragement, and knowledge as I can.

I wish you the best through all of this and please track me down if you'd like to talk,
Kristen
