Audrey on the Hotline
Audrey Clifton and her husband Don had a quick initiation to staffing the 800 line. It was feast or famine with the calls! They enjoyed talking with everyone who called in January and February.
Audrey has had a diagnosis of VHL since age 32. She is now 64, a mother of three and a grandmother many times over. She has had numerous operations on eye, kidney, brain, and spine, and an ELST in the ear. She also had gamma knife surgery at the University of Virginia for a brain tumor. She has been the Chairman for North Carolina for several years.
Audrey’s advice? Try to find a doctor who knows something about VHL. Do not hesitate to get a second opinion or if necessary a third opinion prior to making a decision where surgery is concerned.
Audrey and Don love to help people. They live in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where Audrey is very active in the Outreach program of her church. As printed in the VHL Family Forum 10:1, March 2002. For permission to reprint, please contact VHL Family Alliance, editor@vhl.org.
