I have NF1, diagnosed two years ago with 2 tumors in my brain. Do you have it? And if so, tell me any information that you can about it.

I have NF1 as well... I was diagnosed when I was 17.. but am 38 now... For the most part it just causes me cosmetic worries, although when I was younger I had to wear a leg brace because my left lower leg bone is bowed. I have several small neurofibroma tumors on various places of my body... I wish there were a cure but so far as I know there is not. I hope the doctors can remove the ones in your brain that are causing trouble. I pray the Lord will give you peace and strength... Best wishes to you.

I have heard of it and I know it involves having several tumors in or outside of your body.
