To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Neurofibromatosis HI I’M 26 YEARS OLD AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEUROFIBROMATOSIS IN 2001. I WAS TOLD I HAD A TUMOR ON MY NECK. AFTER THE SURGERY THE DOCTOR TOLD ME HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO TAKE 1 TUMOR OFF. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE I THOUGHT I ONLY HAD ONE. MY ARM IS SLOWLY DECAYING BECAUSE MY TUMOR CAN’T BE REMOVED WITHOUT RUNNING THE CHANCE OF PARALIZING MY ARM. I HAD ANOTHER MRI DONE RECENTLY AND NOW I FIND OUT I HAVE MULTIPLE NUROFIBROMAS ON MY SPINAL CANAL. I DON’T FEEL ANY PAIN, EXCEPT FOR THE NUMBNESS ON MY ARM. I JUST HOPE THAT I CAN LEAD A NORMAL LIFE AND THAT MY BABY DOESN’T HAVE WHAT I HAVE. Comments
