In this episode, we discuss:

- Growing up with MEN1 and learning from family experiences
- The challenge of balancing aggressive treatment vs. proactive management
- How to build a strong support network and find the right doctors
- The emotional exhaustion of lifelong illness—and how to handle it
- Why "watch and wait" isn't always the only option
