  • Neurofibromatosis, often referred to as NF, is a group of three genetically distinct disorders that cause tumors to grow in the nervous system and can affect many parts of the body. Dr. Karen VanderLaan talks about the multidisciplinary team at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital that specializes in treatment of this condition.

      Samara, hope this message finds you well. My Nephiew was just diagnosed with NF1, and I’m trying to find someone who has who can recommend anything that helps as well as answer some questions i have. Starting with the most basic of questions: Have you found a change of diet to be beneficial at all?

    Nf1. Mines are primarily on the outside. Shit is not a game. In many cases those whom do not have it choose not to associate themselves with those that do. Chances of being in a relationship with a person without it are quite slim. Albeit there are some that tend to ride with you but indeed fear being chastised when they do. At lest in my experience. However you must carry on and be strong.
