Hemophilia. Does anyone know of a girl who has had hemophilia? What would her life expectancy be? My older sister has Hemophilia and turned 56 in July. I've known many with this disease of the blood but never heard they couldn't live as long as everyone else, only that they have to take more precautions to avoid injuries. its pretty much a male disease, some make it into the 30s i think , why dont you look it up on line on a web search. |
