Embarrassing Bodies: Charlotte's story

[ouryve]

is that the little girl? half watching it

Poor girl.

oh god how awful - poor poor little mite . I cant beleive verrucas can get like that.

i can't believe she had to go on some shitey tv show to get a diagnosis

I missed the beginning - did they explain why the parents had not taken her to a doctor earlier?

its like that indonesian man who had them all over his body in a programme called bodyshock - it looked like his hands and feet had turned to tree trunks
dede i think he was called - maybe you tube it or i can

She has something life threatening and its never been picked up. Shocking.

Please let me know what happens, dp wont turn over as hes watching something else and the box needs retuning so its not picking up c4 anyway.

its an overgrowth of the simple verucca /warts virus - he has no immunity to them

Oh heck the little brothers are a match

shit

this programme is making me cry

turns it off

they think shes old enough to hear she may die?

fuck off

Poor wee soul.

They said that her parents had taken her to doctors, they had seen specialists etc. Doesnt give you much faith in the medical system does it, that as someone said she had to go on a crappy tv programme

You could tell that dr chris was shocked.

Tears here too.

I remember seeing this ages ago in the original series.

Can't watch the prog though as DH and FIL are glued to the footie, so do tell what happened to her, poor thing

I remember watching it when she was first diagnosed. I did think how lucky she was that at least this doctor correctly diagnosed her straight away.

I started crying the same time as the mum when they were told that up to 10% don't make the transplant process.

Don't make it (ie die) in the process I mean.

Castille, she needs a bone marrow transplant (from her sister), as what immunity she has at present gets weaker as she gets older.

They surgically removed all her verucas, they were growing back within 9 weeks of the op. .

She has to have chemo to prepare her for the bone marrow transplant. Poor wee thing.

this poor child

God how awful

I am gobsmacked no one did a blood test before she went on telly.

Hope she makes it.

should i watch it on ch4 plus 1? or will i just make myself cry...

The transplant went well - as judged by retreating verrucas! What a journey for that family. Makes me want to join the bone marrow register.

jeesus ive only just started watching - what the fuck was her family gp doing to not do some simple checks?

Aw gosh i can't stop crying! Poor lil family

i thought they were utterly charming - check out hte BODEN lady!

i thought harry was so sweet wanting to help. The parents were so strong when they fet so torn. I had ds4 under anaesthetic twice for relatively trivial things and i can tell you it is TERRIFYING

good wishes to them all

She looked like Emma Thompson
