Yosra's Story

My name is Yosra but I’m known as Tanja in the Group. I’m 24 years old! I’ve been diagnosed with Glanzmann’s when I was 6 Months. Since my illness is hereditary, my older cousin has the Glanzmann’s so my mom had an idea about it. And when I was a baby mom found some bruises and red points in all over my body, then when she knew that I have the Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia. And since then I’ve been fighting it alone. I’ve been hospitalized a lot. But with our support group I don’t have to be alone anymore.
