Patient Stories

Newly married and starting out on her career, Mara Rezo thought she had the world at her feet. However, at 25 a diagnosis of LAM saw the breakdown of her marriage and shattered her dreams of motherhood. Now working part-time and keeping as fit as she can with yoga, Mara is doing her best to manage the ill effects of the disease.
