NF is a genetic disorder that
Enables tumors to grow like weeds.
Upon the skin-- NF1,
Ravaging the nervous system-- NF2,
Or a combination of both.
Fighting this disease
Is draining in body and spirit.
Because it's not considered cancer,
Rarely do people take notice.
Oh, if they only knew.
Malignancy isn't the worst that can happen.
Abilities lost one by one,
The painful ugly tumors on the skin,
Or going deaf and blind or becoming paralyzed.
Suffering for many years with few treatment options until death finally comes.
It needs awareness and funding for more research.
Spread the word and help us cure NF!
