HI KAY.I was diagnosed in Texas. as for problems as a teenager Ican’t say I had too Many that were related to cah. For one I met my husband to be when I was 14. He helped me through allot, he was always there for me and still is, he was there when my family wasn’t, I would like to-say to, it would have helped allot if my mother had stayed in the room and held my hand during the exam’s and if she would have questioned the doctors about the exam’s most wear not necessary as I look back and now that I have a daughter I will always be there if I can’t be in the room, than no exam. BOY, GUESS I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING, HU! My hardest years were 5-9, I GOT TOUGH. Iwas so much taller than kids my age and went through allot at school, it always helped me to be Friends with the kids that needed a Friend like me, I was their protector, some times I was the bully to the bully’s. Hope it helps to see a little into my life. I must say life has been pretty good for me, I do think it is that I try not to dwell on negative things in life and to do something about the things I can. Hope all is well with you and your family.
