The Ring Theory

I think when someone we know or someone we love is going through something really hard we often don't know what to say. We don't know what we can do to help.

I absolutely love this article.

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

In Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, certain white blood cells, called Langerhans cells, grown out of control.

In a healthy person, these cells help defend against infection. But in histiocytosis, the cells multiply so quickly that they build up and can damage the body instead of protect it.

Some people have excess cells and damage in only one site or organ in their bodies. Others have excess cells in many places throughout their bodies.

The bones are the most common sites of damage - mainly the bones in the skull.
