Snoops Family on the View - Daughter Cori has Lupus

Well this is just a quick post and I'm behind a few weeks, but I found this link to the View website from August 6th (their interview is the 2nd 2 segments):

Although they didn't go into too much detail about the disease and what it can do, they brought up some great facts about upcoming medications, how difficult it is to diagnose, what it can do to young children, how it can take so long to diagnose and the frustration around that (especially for someone like Snoop Dogg's daughter - someone that may be considered "high priority") - it still took them a long time to diagnose her.

And hat's off to this amazing girl who looked just so stylish and great up there and her message is so promising!  Something that some of us lose sight of when we're older and juggling a lot of things in life.  In each of our stages in life I think this disease poses new challenges and although I consider the difficulties of paying the bills, going to work, finding time for a social life, spending time with family and my boyfriend, and trying to deal with this difficult - the youth that have it have to deal with medications, embarassing rashes, hair loss - something that is still difficult for us, but we can figure out - they have to deal with harassment from school friends, being too tired to play and maybe not really understanding.  I just think its great that they went on the show and spoke up about how it affected their lives and - if lupus could ever be a good thing - brought her family back together.
