    GREAT STRIDES TAKING STEPS TO CURE CYSTIC FIBROSIS

    I haven't log on for a very long time. I am very sorry for not being part of this great family. I took it really hard when I lost two very close friends that I met here and felt I could not deal with talking and becoming close to anyone and maybe lose them. I recently had a double lung...

    Getting My first Port

    Never had one and the doctors feel that at this point is best if I get one and continue the in home IV's that I've been doing since August through a pick line. I have read that most of you who have one like it a lot better than the pick line. The doctor told me I would have to stay for two...
