About ducdu

I was healthy until 2003 where I was diagnosed as prostrate cancer. This mortal disease costs me just a few months to cure . And now I'm a cancer survivor. During my treatment for prostrate cancer, around 2003, I found out that my right hand was shaking more than usual and my writing became illegible. Then I saw my neurologist and finally I was told that I have Parkinson's. And things go from bad to worse. I seek advice from Movement Disorder Specialist who told me I have Progressive Seudonuclear Palsy. I have difficulty walking. Now Wheelchair is my means of transport.

I'm from Vietnam. I took refuge in the US in 1982, and I worked there as a social worker until my retirement in 2005. I was healthy until 2003 where I was diagnosed as prostrate cancer. This mortal disease costs me just a few months to cure . And now I'm a cancer survivor. During my treatment for prostrate cancer, around 2003, I found out that my right hand was shaking more than usual and my writing became illegible. Besides, my cousin told me that I looked very slow and I defended that I was not At that time, I still did not recognize my slowness of movement. Then I saw my neurologist. After viewing my MRI of the head, she told me I have a minor stroke. Later on, she confirmed that I have Parkinson's.
