VA - Evan Perdew PDF Print E-mail

Evan was diagnosed with NF when he was 3 months old. In 2009, doctors found a large plexiform neurofibroma in his right shoulder that cannot be removed. It is too intertwined with the nerves in his shoulder and the blood supply in his neck. Evan has limited use of his arm and is almost always in pain. Recently, Evan's tumor has gotten bigger and it is now pushing out his collar bone.
