Can people with Carney Complex work? What kind of work can they perform?

Having CNC doesn’t stop you being able to have a career.

Carney Complex (CC) affects each and everyone of us differently - even amongst the same family sharing the same genetic mutation.

I hope this example helps you understand what I mean.

In my immediate family my mom, my brother and I have CC. It's was unknowingly passed on to us children by our mom. We all share the same mutation but CC has affected all of us differently.

Mom's had:
- cyclical Cushing's Disease (starting from an early age and still has phases where she gains/ loses weight)
- a tumor in her ear (age 22)
- two cardiac myxomas (at 45 and 49)
- papillary thyroid cancer (55)

I've had:
- cyclical Cushing's (starting early on with unexplained weight gain)
- a liver tumor (age 9)
- fibrolamellar cancer (rare liver cancer at age 13)
- full blown Cushing's Disease which was 'cured' by removing both adrenals and giving me Addison's Disease (19)
- Pituitary tumours (19)
- papillary thyroid cancer (26)
- and my latest have been 3 cardiac myxomas (28, 30 and 34)

My brother:
- large-cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumors (in his teens)
- pituitary tumour (26)

My mom was able to finish schooling and worked in a research lab until she had a stroke from her second cardiac myxoma. Since then she's been on disablity.
My brother is able to work and lives a normal life.

I on the otherhand have had more trouble with getting an education and working because of subsequent complications from certain surgeries. Want to read about me check out my blog:

So, the answer is: Depending on how Carney Complex expresses itself in you and if you have to deal with any subsequent complications you can work. You can work as anything you want to.
