So sorry for my late reply, your wonderful empathy made me very emotional which was greatly cathartic :) I'm doing fine now the winter's over, and just so grateful to be here. Many hugs and much love :) xoxo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315430899741942616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102276561870389105.post-72373672458990317402015-08-12T15:01:38.093-07:002015-08-12T15:01:38.093-07:00Oh, Chris.

I'm sure my husband's cancer was caused from the stress of my liver collapse, and my mother died of pancreatic cancer while Tom was pre-surgery. You'd think we'd wake up, wouldn't you, but the human race rarely seems to learn from it's past mistakes. Hugs, and take it easy, my friend :) xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315430899741942616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102276561870389105.post-6497581609419737572015-07-13T00:03:32.582-07:002015-07-13T00:03:32.582-07:00I had to look up TIA Sarah - Transient ischemic at...I had to look up TIA Sarah - Transient ischemic attack or mini stroke - that must have been terrifying! <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315430899741942616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102276561870389105.post-36394239778767617622015-07-12T05:04:14.796-07:002015-07-12T05:04:14.796-07:00On top of LCSS, formerly known as CREST Syndrome, ...On top of LCSS, formerly known as CREST Syndrome, I had four TIAs in 2008!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102276561870389105.post-31546333354719929682015-07-12T04:59:59.654-07:002015-07-12T04:59:59.654-07:00You were right to think I would be interested, Chr...You were right to think I would be interested, Chris. My empathy is infinite because although my autoimmune condition is different, you have familiar symptoms. And all that time I was asking and worrying about your husband, I had no idea you'd been going through all this. Art has made a huge difference to me for the same reasons. I keep reading that autoimmune conditions are on the increase because of the enormous stress involved in 21st century life. Take care. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102276561870389105.post-12349382000292599652015-07-11T23:31:27.934-07:002015-07-11T23:31:27.934-07:00Hi Shanina, thank you for commenting.

I hope my story helps people to realise how difficult it is for the many many people who have compromised immune systems for whatever reason. There are 2000 liver transplantees in the State of Victoria alone, without all the other organ transplant recipients, and so very many people on chemotherapy.

It's so difficult when people don't understand the dangers posed to people with compromised immune systems with everyday things they take for granted.<br />Hugs ShaninaMrsBloggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744874324646431899noreply@blogger.com
