Hello @andreagottfried!

Welcome @AndreaG to the AVM Survivors site!
It is so nice to see that you have chosen to join the online community of Ben’s Friends. We want to let you know that this site is for you to learn about other people’s experiences, interact with people undergoing similar situations and plus share your story! I’ve gotten to learn about your resilience and bravery through having a stroke at the young age of 11 and must I say, you are a warrior! Even then it is lovely to see what you have achieved through your PhD to your future goals and the passion you have grown from your own medical story!

Please do use the ‘General’ tab to interact with other fellow members. You can also use the plus button on the bottom right of the screen to start your own discussion sharing your own story! Everyone here are warm and welcoming and through interacting with them this will ensure you that you are not alone!

Best of wishes!

Roshan
