BCM is a very rare disease and many men have spent a large proportion of their lives living with no diagnosis or alone with no contact with others in the same situation.
Thanks to the advent of genetic testing, social media/the internet and with the support of BCMFF, we are now able to connect BCM men with each other and their families. Being inspired by our successes and learning from our collective journeys.
Trudi Dawson, the mother of a BCM boy in the UK, presents our ’60 seconds with….’ column with the aim of connecting families and their wealth of experiences living with BCM. Whilst we await a cure, let’s work to support and guide each other and our BCM family.
