Hi Stephanie,
This board is the very best from an informational support forum. The people here are absolutely wonderful and when questions arise or treatment problems, ask away...this is the most incredible place to be when you are going thru this hell.

I was born in Shreveport & grew up in Natchitoches, Louisiana and love that state. My family is still in Natchitoches and I was just there last weekend visiting my family and currently my daughter is taking some veterinary classes at LSU this summer and will return to NSU in Natchitoches this fall. She is 22 years young and I could not imagine what life would be like if she had this dreaded disease....you have such a positive outlook and YOU will beat this - so hang in there and ask away...We are here for you - this forum has become my family and is a great support for patients and I think for the caregivers as well.

Keep your chin up and make the x's on the calendar as you get through each day....YOU WILL BEAT THIS!!!

Praying for you and your family,
Paula
