Hi Readers, If you feel so inclined to hear me talk, give a listen to the newest episode of Patientworthy’s rare disease podcast. It was wonderful chatting with Colby about life with a new diagnosis and a new baby.

I started writing this when I was on dialysis. It’s intended to be both memoir and a practical tool to help folks who might be going through something similar or those caregivers and family supporting someone with a challenging diagnosis. I hope to include excerpts here as I write. NOTE: This is not intended to replace actual medical guidance. Please consult your doctors on your individual challenges and situations. Also names have been changed for most of my medical staff.
