I am a wife of 55 years, Mother of four children and Grandmother of 11.
I am a sixteen year Breast Cancer survivor. My Father had Parkinson's Disease so I recognized the symptoms. My first clue was difficulty writing, (micro graphic.) My family noticed and brought to my attention that I carried my right arm at a stiff angle. I brought these symptoms to my doctor. He ordered an MRI to rule out a stroke. He sent me to a Neurologist.
