Default Re: Undiagnosed cancer passed to transplant recipients

Wow...that's sad.

Kudos to the family that was willing to donate their childs organs when a tragic event happened in their life...

One thing that we are always on the lookout with Holly is any type of tumor...since she is immune suppressed (compromised)..the chances of any type of lymphoma, etc. are elevated quite a bit.

We know of quite a few children that have developed tumors in their lungs, brains and kidneys to name a few...

Don't underestimate the power and importance of the bodies immune system...

I will say prayers for all the people involved in this tragic event....Puts everything back into perspective.
