My Story:
Arthur

Living with PC at 9 years old

My name is Arthur, I’m 9 years old and I have pachyonychia. I live in the city of Rio Paranaiíba – Brazil. My family managed to get my diagnosis very quickly, thanks to the Pachyonychia Project that carried out my testing with great responsibility.  The result was confirmed before my first year of life.

I’m a happy child, I love studying, making friends, playing, and much more!

At first mom was very scared, but today she overcame everything with the help of PC Project, some friends who have the disease that we had the honor of meeting, and also Aunt Elisângela, my podiatrist who takes care of my nails and my few calluses with lots of love and care.

I hope to be able to one day participate in meetings with others who have PC and learn a lot from them.

A hug!

Arthur

Meu nome é Arthur, tenho 9 anos e sou portador de paquioniquia. Moro na cidade de Rio Paranaiíba – Brasil.Minha família conseguiu fechar meu diagnóstico bem rápido,  graças ao projeto da paquioniquia que realizou meu teste com muita responsabilidade.  O resultado foi confirmado antes do meu primeiro ano de vida.

Sou uma criança  feliz, adoro estudar, conquistar amigos, brincar, e muito mais!

No início mamãe ficou muito assustada, mas hoje ela  superou tudo com a ajuda do projeto, de alguns amigos portadores que  tivemos a honra de conhecer e também a tia Elisângela,  minha podologa que cuida das minhas unhas, meus poucos calos com muito amor e carinho.

Espero poder um dia, participar dos encontros  dos portadores  e aprender muito com eles.

Um abraço!

Arthur
