Samara's Story...

I was born in Medellin, Colombia, but moved to the United States when I was 2 years old. I grew up in Binghamton, NY and went to college at Cornell University. I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2000 to teach 1st grade and have been here since!

Today is Wednesday, October 27th. I was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease in September 2004 and will be having surgery on December 7th.

This is all so new to me and don't know what to expect in terms of recovery. The most frustrating thing was waiting to see what was going on. Finally I know what it is and can move forward with the treatment.

I thank all of my friends and family that have been so supportive and caring during all this time. They listen to me day and night obsess with my condition. I could not make it without them. Thank you!
