My Life Part 1.

in cancer •  8 years ago  (edited)

First a warning. my medical story which is basically the majority of my life won't be completely accurate with dates honestly my parents generally tell this story so i'm telling it as i have portions of it memorized :)

So in September of 1988, i was born in Naarden located in the Netherlands. I was born a few weeks early, i suppose was i was sick of being inside. When i was born my mom held me for about 5 mins before the doctors took me away from her because i had a hole in my heart. As you can see since i'm alive that issue was fixed. Now since i was born too early i got put in an incubator. After a few weeks or months i got diagnosed with a syndrome called beckwith-wiedemann syndrome. This syndrome is a syndrome that can make part of your body grow unevenly, it also gives the blessing of tumors that can grow in soft tissue areas of your body. The beckwith-wiedemann syndrome blessed me in both ways. My legs grew unevenly and my breasts grew unevenly. Tumor wise as a child i got blessed with Wilms tumors 3 times. I think i was 3,5, and 7 when it happened. I had cancer with each tumor and after each tumor was removed i had chemotherapy. But even though my primary years were mostly spent in the hospital, i still had a pretty decent childhood.
