Living with Neurofibromatosis

My name is Bryan Caruso and I have a disease called Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). When I was 3-years-old, my mom noticed a tumor on my back and took me to a neurosurgeon to get it checked. That was when I was diagnosed with Nf type 1. We also have had genetics testing and no one in my family history has ever had Neurofibromatosis. I am the only one.
