Neurofibromatosis 2

Desiree

When I was the age of 3 I was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis. My mother and grandmother have type 1 and so does my little brother. Mine is type 2.. which causes tumors to grow on my nerves.. they are on my brain and down my spinal cord!! As of right now at the age of almost 20 I have yet to have any removed because they haven’t grown. I thank God for that!!! They are not cancerous but any tumor can become bad especially on the brain!!! I stay strong and have fought challenges its thrown at me. STAYING STRONG NO MATTER WHAT!!!
