Hi! I'm a Cyster, and these boards have helped me guide and advocate for my own medical care (yay for empowerment!) as well as feel less lonely. I wanted to note, though, that some people's partners are not men, and non-male partners need support, too! Perhaps the mandate of this board could be expanded to include other family, like children and girlfriends and wives?
