Sometimes people ask “why because to give birth to children knowing about the diagnosis.” Our diagnosis is being treated and you can live a long time. The main thing is to start earlier treatment. The tests that are associated with operations are an opportunity to understand how strong you are, and you can accept and carry this cross with dignity and leave your mark in people lives.
