    I am so sorry for those suffering from neurofibromatosis. I had a friend that had such condition, eventually tumors grew in her ears, it ultimately took her life. I think of her often. I pray & hope science will find a cure.

    I truly understand all of your pain I myself have NF1 as well as my dad and brother I recently had one removed off my leg that was cancerous. My brother four younger children also have it. This is a great doctor I've seen him at UT Southwestern.

      @@imthe2253 it's not that she's not hopeful it's that once you are born with nf1 it's for life you can only prevent your kids from inheriting it it's a mutation of your genes
      and last time I checked you can't change your genes after birth
      and they can already do a lot for us, such as those with severe form of our condition who could never have children because each generation the symptoms get worse. With the help of lab, they now have the chance to have a healthy baby
      they can remove difficult-lying fibroids (tumors) and with minimally invasive surgery and scars
      also inhibitors for those who would deteriorate at a later age and slow down this process even more so that it causes problems that start much later
      for every medical condition thay work every day and every improvement is a victory and gives us hope
      medical world never stands still and continues to improve
      making it easier to live with even though i find that people who treat us normally also help to live with my illness

    I have NF1. I am 55, I was diagnosed at age 12 several years after my younger sister who lost her right leg because one developed in lower tibia at birth she also has NF1 as well as her youngest son, daughter and 1yr granddaughter. Our dad had NF1, he died in 85 from cancer and grieving for my sister and all. His NF was really bad. I know how all of you feel about facing the world. I make people remember me! I am open to questions. People make fun or say hurtful things because of ignorance and fear. I’m sure that we all see things we can’t wrap our heads around and don’t know how to approach and speak tactfully. If someone makes a off hand remark use humor, smile and wish them blessings, or complement them on how clever they are to come up with such remarks. Find your joy. They can only steal it if you let them. Children come up to me to get a closer look I smile and offer to let them touch the bumps on my hand or face I make a different sound for each.Soon compassion replaces fear, and soon the parents come and thank me for being kind. I know this is long winded this is from my heart. Be bold and remember you are wonderfully and BEAUTIFULLY made. God bless you all.

      dont be, you alouwd to feel this way, it's not fair and people can be so mean and shallow, but remember you are not alone and there are always good people who look beyond our looks.
      our spots (cafe au lait) make us unique , make us beautiful
      and in terms of children it is expensive depending in which country you live in but they can through lab and implantation make sure if we want children they don't inherit our disease and we are the last generation of our family with this disease
