My mom is currently in the end stages of Mito, her heart is dying, she only started showing symptoms when she was in her late 40's. And she has had the exact same diagnosis as you with her variety being so rare it's never been categorized and no one in our known family has been diagnosed with it (although there are problems with this type of history as Mito was only recently discovered). Massachusetts General Hospital is keeping cultures of her cells alive indefinitely for research purposes and to hopefully find a cure or better treatments one day.

I don't really have any questions but I just kinda wanted to say this and feel free to talk to me about it. I can't really say it's going to be okay or stuff like that because I've had to watch someone slowly die for almost 6 years.

How are you taking it? Resubmitted with a question.

Thats good. My mom had pre-hospice counseling the other week and she had a ton of trouble getting a psych referral, they wanted to put her on anti-depressants and anti-anxieties. I feel like in this situation, being able to see a therapist is really helpful and it's great that you did.

It's the safe way to speak, assume uncertainty until there is certainty. For all he knows, Chao could back out or die or not get confirmed.

We don't, but why not circlejerk?
