Iv never heard of BP shortening anyone's lifespan?? "proper treatment"?? What exactly is "proper treatment"? different treatments work differently on different individuals..what may work for one,may not work on another & vice Versa. What I meant was all the treatment she has had "SO FAR" isn't doing any good..hopefully the treatment "therapy" she is currently undergoing will be different now..I feel so powerless here.. Iv always been able to help her in The passed, but I'm no doctor & I hate being powerless.. She looks at me so sadly asking for help & I don't know what I can do?? Iv got her in the best clinic money can pay for,I'm making her as comfortable as I possibly can but I want to do more for her..but I don't know what more I can do??
