Story of a local woman from the Philly burbs

oh, and Fuck Cancer.

Damn. That's almost exactly how my dad died.

Sorry Pie.

It breaks my heart to see yet another die from this. She was 38 with a husband and 3 sons. Inside of a year they went from the stereotypical family to this.

This is the 5th family in less than a year that I personally know has lost someone.

I don't see any info there--just a blog with comments. ??

Its a blog of what happened. It starts in Aug and runs its course.

As far as I could tell, she died after a bone marrow transplant (I don't know what her original disease was). A CMV activation led to ARDS.

Her lungs became pulp, and she drowned from the inside.
