AKA her killer T cells are destroying her own red blood cells and she had 1/3 the number of normal blood cells. She got a blood transfusion and within a month when shes fully healthy she will get surgery and have her entire colon removed. I feel your pain man. Ive been helping my mom fight UC since i was in the 8th grade. I even stayed back and decided to go to a community college locally so she can have me at home taking care of her. After this most recent visit to the hospital she decided that its been enough and she wants to get the colon removed. I wish you the best of luck with your battle and hopefully one day you will be able to live a normal life!
