“I was born with a complex vascular and lymphatic malformation on my right side that required multiple surgeries and laser treatments that I am still receiving. I had my first surgery when I was six months old, followed by an additional procedure at 18 months. I have had the malformation drained multiple times due to fluid accumulation, two chemotherapy injections, and at least a dozen laser treatments. The VBF was able to help my parents find the right physicians and treatment options that were specific to my birthmark. I can’t imagine how different my life would be today without the influence of the VBF and its team of expert physicians.”
