hello, my name is Becky. I was dignosed with NF about 17 years ago. I have a large growth on the bottem of my foot, but that is the only real effect I have of it. My brother had a worse case. He had facial deformities and was in a wheel chair by the time he was 15. He had tumors on his brain and up and down his spine. He could talk but my mom(who also has nf)was the only one who could understand him. On the 11th of this month he will have been gone for 6 years. He died a month after his eighteenth birthday. Im worried about my son now cuz he has been diagnosed with nf also. He is also autistic.

Hello, Becky!

I want to welcome you to the NF board, and tell you that I am sorry that you did not recieve a response. This group is smaller and has been struggling getting going yet. I am newer to MDJ, but have jumped in, and recently was asked to be the Group Leader of the NF Board. So, initially I am going through and attemting to make contact with all the listed NF members, introduce myself, and also encourage everyone to consider coming back and helping me in growing this board into a phenominal place for support in NF.

I am truly sorry for the loss of your brother, and for his deep struggles with Neurofibromatosis. That was quite a severe case, and I can sense the pain you still feel from all of that as well as your concerns for your sweet boy. I hope I can help you with that...

I want to let you know that you are not alone, and hope that you will come back & join us on this forum also.

Do you have a good physician for your son, qualified in dealing with NF?

I look forward to hearing from you, and getting to know you better.

(((BIG HUGS)))
