John - back in the hospital Well I thought I was doing so well. I have been taking some heavy doses of steroids to combat a GVH rash that spread head to toe. Unfortunately the steroids were masking the symptoms of two blood infections. I finally spiked a 103 fever and started shacking uncontrollably. My blood work came back positive for a Gram-positive bacteria and a Gram-negative bacteria, klebsiella pneumoniae. I spent a week in the hospital and will go to clinic for the next 7 …More…

Nancy - dont understand when a person says that they are glad to "click that support button" to support someone, after the other person has pressed it to support them. I will never understand that statement. Thought that people want to support them they can always click a support button, not wait for another person to support them and then support that person.
If someone wants to support someone and the other person does not support that person is it a crime? Almost like the …More…

MinisterNeecy - Inflammatory Breast Cancer: The End
Well, I’ve been gone a while but after reading my post you’ll understand why.
Never take the importance of knowing for sure that somebody you love knows that you love them. Never, put off apologizing to somebody you have wronged, offended or treated badly out of anger or selfish pride. Pretend that today is the last chance you have to let those you know how much you love them. While this post is about sisters, it is not reserved for sisters. …More…
