Cathy’s symptoms were fatigue, diarrhoea and anxiety.

My journey started when I was in my early teens. At 14 my sister and myself were sent for genetic testing to see if we carried the MEN1 gene as my mother was told there was a 50/50 chance that this could have been passed onto us. Both my sister and I both inherited MEN1.

Although educating healthcare professionals and the general public about the disease is too late for me. I advocate for this to happen so that no future patient has to go through what has happened to me.
