Editor’s Choice: CRPS Life, Diagnosis Grief, and Cancer Wars

Happy Friday Patient Worthians!

This week we have two awesome contributions. One addresses grieving as a parent of a child with rare disease. Another addresses living with CRPS and other rare diseases while in high school.

We also have an incredibly inspiring interview with an 11-year mesothelioma survivor. Lastly, we have details on an upcoming Cystinosis Research Network event!

We hope you are as excited as we are to check out this week’s Editor’s Choice!
