Sarah recently had surgery to remove a tumor from her pituitary gland. This was to treat Cushing's Disease. She died today. I hate this disease.
Sarah was only 28.
You will be remembered, Sarah.

I've just discovered your blog. I am a Cushie blogger myself. I didn't know Sarah, but I am sad to hear that she passed. It is one of my biggest fears - that this disease will claim me before I'm ready. Thanks for posting and helping all of us fellow Cushies! I hope I return the favor with my blog.
