Long way away, and welcome!!!! I am sorry your girlfriend has these cysts. I do know what they are. I think the decision to do surgery or is based on the severity. Auto immune problems also are a consideration. May I ask what kind of auto immune issue she has? I have several going on, and my doctors are indeed careful, especially for surgery. I hope she can find a solution that works. I don't know too much about the medical facilities in Malaysia, but I would guess that the best place to go would be a teaching hospital. Second opinions are always a good idea. You found a great web site, and you will find those on here who also have this condition. Again Welcome, ginnie

My recovery is going well, but still have some pain. That's normal since I'm not quite 3 months post-op. Hope this helps. Kim |

Why would a person receiving the skin from the cow, not have their immune system try to reject it. Is this skin, prepared in such a way that it doesn't harm a person as in a bone graph? Just curios ....ginnie

The "skin" is tissue from the heart muscle, bovine pericardium. This is not unusual. The only drawback is that the person receiving the tissue is no longer acceptable as a bone marrow donor. However, considering the benefits, this trade-off is well worth it. While I can no linger donate marrow, I do grow my hair for Locks of Love, in honor of the woman who first inspired me to become a marrow donor.

Thank you for donating your hair. I have alopecia universalis, and I can tell you the children who are hit with this disease, as well as cancer are helped so much by what you do. Thank you again. ginnie
