She is 1 of 6 known cases in the world. Now, medical science is in the experimental phases of developing treatments for rare diseases. Unfortunately, because this is so rare, it receives very little research funding. These types of diagnoses leave families isolated and overwhelmed with the gargantuan task of raising the funds that go to improving and hopefully saving the lives of the people they love.'More Info on Frances and donation page: https://shorturl.at/eKnoDr This is Purple Yellow Red & Blue, A Portugal the Man podcast!
