MEN2A

I am 39 with a loving husband and two young kids and unfortunately MEN2A. I was diagnosed in the fall of 2015. I had recurrent hyperparathyroidism that I couldn't get any doctor to take seriously despite being a physician myself. I finally found good doctors at SLU and Wash U and got the surgery I needed. I am so grateful for my wonderful family, friends, and physicians. And I am beyond grateful that both my kids tested negative. I struggle with anxiety about my future and feeling alone with this disease. I am also currently suffering from recurrent laryngeal nerve damage, which has its own set of issues. I would love to connect with other MEN2A patients and caregivers.
