                        Hi, Just wanted to let you know my sister went throught exactly all the same things as you except she was hospitalized frrom the time she was 12 - 14 yrs of age.  She had all the same procedures done as you and now has two kids.    The only problem now is I think I have the same thing. I am 27 yrs old and the mother of 3, It's scary for me because I do know exactly waht to expect.  GOod luck to you and keep taking care of yourself.
