Hello all,

My question falls under genetics and 'haemo' medicine i think   . I know someone, whose daughter, young, got a rare blood condition, a first one in millions.

It's called TTP (Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura). This is the 'latest model' of the ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura) .

She takes chemotherapy on a daily basis, and is under ICU. ICU is bloody expensive here, more so chemotherapy.

It's the first time I heard of this rare disease called TTP, and has something to do with internal hemorrhages (blood clots in vessels inside the body) due to low blood platelet count (wbc and cbc).

 She's under 'paralyzed' state atm, and takes all kindsa meds and treatments......but very expensive. I lost contact with the family, but it's a crazy situation, so, does anyone know more about the disease and what her condition is life ?

Best,
yasalam

Edit: It's been more than a month, so I think financing is rather important than information. But information would be appreciated

I do not have the ability to link right now but if you type in TTP Support Group you will find groups that provide education, fellowship, and other resources.

The poor girl...

I have no info to offer, but I hope you find some.

If you have lost touch with them then perhaps you don't need a support group. But if you tnink they do then pass it on.

It's actually pretty, fucking crazy   .

Why are you on an atheist forum soliciting medical advice/information?

This does not smell right.

Errrmmm.......coz atheist are intellect ? From Plato to richard dawkins ?

And doctors are made of intellects ?

I was also in the forum before......Just had negative feedbacks

I'm also an agnostic theist ?

Are you asking for advice or just using a young womans misfortune as an excuse to stir up shit?

We're not intellects or hipsters or any of that swine, any more than you are. Also, Chimp was giving you good advise, and you kind of snapped at him. Not sure what that's about.
