My 4 year old son was diagnosed w/ NF1 last year. He has a large progressive plexiform neurofibroma growning from his C2 down the left of his neck and into the chest cavity. No one here in KC wants to touch him, we have been in one clinical trial for Gleevac last year in Indy, but no luck as he would not swallow the pill. Gleevac was way too bitter to hide in anything.we tried it all. Hopefully soon something will help shrink this thing or he will die due to it pushing on his airway and crocheting itself around the carotid artery. Thanks for your site! God Bless!

I have segmental schwannomatosis. I have had 3 tumors removed from my lumbar/sacral region. The first when I was 19 and the other 2 when I was 26. I went almost 10 years without pain. It came back in November of 2000. Still waiting for someone to give a damn and help me. Both of my legs/feet are going numb and I fall frequently. I am 43 now. Could not have children because of this. Please keep up the good work so hopefully my 7 years of pain will not last much longer.

Good Luck to all of you! I am 19. I have NF2, and recently lost my hearing, to that. I had surgery in April, and have been on fast recovery! I ran my first marathon in March, at ING Georgia Marathon, with NF Marathon Team! (together, dad and I raised over $8,000 for NF Research!) I'm hoping for lottery granted entry for NYC Marathon! This is an awesome team! God Bless!

My grandson,Kadyn David Hogg was diagnosed with NF1 at 3 months. He is now 2 years old. Last week he began his first session of chemo for optic tumors. He will have chemo once a week for about a year. He is doing so well with no side effects. He only weighs 26lbs so you can imagine how cute he is. I told his older brother, Dylan that Kadyn goes to the hospital to have angel dust put into his booboo on his chest. I am proud to be this little angel's nana. Love to all, Kadyn's nana

My daughter Alyson was diagnosed with NF1 approx. 6 months ago. It took 15 months for the genitic results to come in. In her 2 year life span she has consulted more specialists than I can count, had open heart surgery to repair defects and faces another surgery in the future. Today we got the results of her first CT scan, 3 dark spots, the largest just behind the optic nerve ( the size of a mans thumbnail). I don't know how worried to be, there seems to be none in our area that understands what all this means.
