Suggest Treatment For Cerebral Cavernous Malformation

In the last year my dad has been diagnosed with a genetic brain disease called CCM type 3 and I have been diagnosed as well. But i do not necessarily have the same symptoms. Earlier this year they found a tumor on his brain stem and it has caused his social skills, reasoning skills to go downhill, and it has changed his personality. I am afraid that this will happen to me as well. If so I don t ever want to get married and put my spouse through what my mom goes through. What do i do?

Hello. I hbe been through your question and understand tour concern.

Your fathers diagnosed lesion in the brainstem is not responsible to none of the symptoms you described. It seems more a personal reaction to the finding which is hard to face and it is considered a "normal" reaction, but in case you have the same finding (which is not for sure) you might react not the same way.

hope this helps. wish you the best helth
