My younger sister has just been discharged from City of Hope hospital after a four month stay, most of it in ICU. She was diagnosed with AML and started treatment immediately. After chemotherapy, she developed an infection that almost cost her, her life. She had sepsis and was in a medically induced coma for almost a month. She is now in remission, but her life is very different from what it use to be just a few short months ago. She has suffered some reversible neurological damage and with continued therapy, she will continue to become stronger, more active and once again regain some autonomy. She currently lives in Bakersfield, suffering from depression due to all she has been through and her current dependancy on others. She is in a fragile state of mind and continues to take multiple medications at home. I am having a very difficult time trying to locate a female support group, or any support group for that matter in her hometown. If anyone has any information on any support groups please inform me. I live in the Los Angeles area but am desperately seeking support for her in Bakersfield.
