Doctor Fights Cancer With Miracle Treatment

  • Thank you for your caring support of your friend!   I'm not sure LCFA is in a position to help you, but Tiffany's best option will be to be seen by doctors at one of the major academic institutions.

    i have a friend that is in need of a miracle. her name is tiffany pratt and shes vary sick, and doctors dont know whats wrong with her. she only able to use 70% of her lungs and doctors fear she wont make it vary long.

    Tiffany is 22 yrs old, she is battling an Undiagnosed Lung Condition, 3 Yrs ago she was a normal teenager, star player on her softball team and always on the go. In 2008 she went on a camping trip to Carlsbad State Beach here in San Diego, she woke up in the middle of the night not being able to get a breath in or out , an ambulance was called Tiffany was admitted for 10 days and thought to have h...ad a severe asthma attac. Since this inncident , Tiffany has been on oxygen 24 hours a day, and each day her condition gets worse. SHe has been admitted into the hospital over 200 times in 2009 seeing over 100 different doctors, with still no outcome to look forward too. Each doctor tells us that her organs are failing because her heart is working to hard to compansate for her lungs, from all the meds her other organs are beginning to fail. Imagine one day being a normal teenager then the next not knowing if tomorrow will ever come for you? please help her find a doc that can help.  please go to breathfortiffanypratt@yahoo.com or find her on facebook
