Hello! My name is Elly, I'm 31 years old and I was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia at 9 years old. I was third in line in 2003 after Dr. John Wagner's non-radiation protocol. Along with my diagnosis came other challenges such as short stature (I'm petite standing at 4'8), hearing loss, born without thumbs, and kidney issues. β¬οΈ
I don't mean to pry. But is this Dr. John Wagner a nephrologist at Montefiore? Just curious because I used to work with a Dr. John Wagner at Long Island Jewish Medical Center outpatient dialysis unit. If he is one and the same, he's a brilliant doctor!
@Spagesgallo1 all good! He is actually at the University of Minnesota π
@Spagesgallo1 I appreciate that! My health has taken me on a roller coaster my whole life, I'm just so thankful I have an amazing support system!
