I just found out tonight my friend passed away from IBC. She fought the battle for two years. I met her through a support group and then we became best of friends. I had the pleasure of supporting her through her struggle with this disease. It was hard for me at times because the treatments did not work for her but worked great for me. What do you say to a person you are supporting except keep trying different ones. Her first grandchild was born shortly after she passed. She was the sweetest, most positive person I have ever met. I hope she is in a better place as she suffered so much for so long. Her Mom is 85 years old and it has left her very angry. Sandy
