Personal Life • I starts off as a little red mark when your young , the red marks become bigger and bigger • If you tried to remove the tumors that grow it would eventually grow back. • if you have a tumor or your face it could cause headaches and make it difficult to eat because the tumor can become very big. • difficult to live your life with this disorder because the tumors become bigger and bigger each day and it’s very hard to hide so most people get negative feedback from people. • typical people with this disorder has to schedule multiple appointments and surgery appointments as well. • When you have NF-1 you become real dizzy , so it’s hard to keep stabled.
