RE: A Different Kind of Snowflake

in #health7 years ago

My mother had MG. It was diagnosed when I was quite young, but she's been on medication pretty much all my life. It wasn't until I was around 15 that I even knew, as we were so often in the hospitals getting my treatments done that I just hadn't seen mum not being well without stresses being caused by me being sick.

These days though, according to the Neurologist, it seems to have 'burnt out', or been killed off, by the cancer she's fighting, but if it wasn't for the MG, she'd never have been off seeing a new specialist to get it checked out again, and he'd never have decided to do the scan that found the cancer.

Thank you for sharing your story with me once more. I'm sorry to hear she's going through another battle. I've developed thymoma a few years back but luckily, it was safely removed. Though the cancer treatment could be putting her on remission. There are a few in our group that take anti-cancer meds to control their MG. Do send her my regards.

I hope you are well as could be and don't need to be around hospitals anymore.
