#31 - Fighting or Managing MEN1? Balance Changed Everything (MEN1 Patient, Mother, Sister & Daughter)
Is there a difference between fighting MEN1 and managing it? Tori, a fifth-generation MEN1 patient, shares her incredible journey of balancing proactive healthcare with living a full life. From navigating aggressive treatments to learning when to step back, she opens up about what it means to take control without letting MEN1 define her.
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
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by MEN1 or struggled to find the right approach to managing your health, this episode is for you.
Are you sure MEN1 can’t be influenced?
When I stopped just 'settling' for symptom management, I began carving a path to somewhere I believed impossible in MEN1: symptom-free, surgery-free, and medication-free. If you’re curious to see how I’m making this happen, join my community here.
