Welcome

My name is Camila and I am 25 years old. I recently went to urgent care for what I thought was a rash. Instead, I was immediately sent to the ER and then admitted in the same night. I was immediatly seen by an hematologist/oncologist.

First time I was in the hospital I got diagnosed with a rare blood disease called ITP. (Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura) It's a rare disease that targets young women and children and at my age considered chronic.

Just to explain a little, normal platelets in a healthy person is 150,000 and up. The first time I came in with 1,000 plaletes and now now I have been admitted for the second time with zero (0) plaletes.

Just a little medical background--Plaletes help the blood clot and tipically it's what separates red blood cells from plasma.

I am at a very high risk for bleeding out. It is a life long rare disease and 70% who are diagnosed don't come back to the hospital. I am the 30% that did!

Protocol for my condition are steroids, IV IG line and spleen removal.

However, my oncologist wants to try an Injection (Rituxan) and/or the pills (Promacta). If not successful, we will have major surgery to remove my spleen.

I am in good spirits, I am very optimistic that this medication will work, but I need help financially. I have no insurance and I still need to take care for my medical bills and medication.
