V.H.L. love mom

We arrived at Wills Eye late afternoon. The doctors were all booked up. They told us to wait, until they were finished, since this was an emergency. The doctor asked me so many questions, I felt as if I did something wrong. Did I do drugs, did my ex do drugs, was she around animals, when did I notice a change in her eye, I was so stressed out. I did dabble with drugs years ago, and my ex also did, and was still getting high. I wanted to blame him for her tumor. I told the doctor the truth about everything. You could imagine the guilt I was feeling. After looking in her eye several times, and let me tell you, she was a perfect patient. She never complained once, all those bright lights in her eyes, stretching her eyes open, laying still, I think they fell in love with her right from the start. They finally concluded that it might be Von Hipple Lindau Syndrome. Von Hippel–Lindau disease (VHL) is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic condition^[1]:555 in which hemangioblastomas are found in the cerebellum, spinal cord, kidney and retina. These are associated with several pathologies including renal angioma, renal cell carcinoma and phaeochromocytoma. VHL results from a mutation in the von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 3p25.3.^[2]
