I was born in The Netherlands in 1965 with LCDH. I was 8 weeks premature, had experimental surgery when I was 3 days old. I had very little chance of survival, but here I am. I am a Master of Business Economics, married my high-school sweetheart and we have a son (born in 1994, no CDH). It was 2004 when I found out there were others like me out there. CDH will always affect my life. In 2016 I was diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer. The lasting affects of this treatment enhance those of CDH.
