I am Maria Kathrina Lopez Yarza. Everyone calls me Kcat. I was diagnosed with NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE 2 (NF2)in 2004. A very rare genetic disorder of tumor growth in the nerves including the brain area. I have tumors in my brain and scattered in my body. I was living normally just like everyone else until my disease caused complications. Total paralysis on my left hand, my left leg is partially paralyzed. I can’t walk.
