When we were diagnosed, we were numbers 11, 12 and 13 in Canada, but there's an umbrella, so there is a larger disease that we are one of the sub-variants of. We thought at the time that there were about 40 people in Canada with it. Now we're in the hundreds; we're identifying a ton. Hopefully, we'll be able to figure that out, but there's no knowledge.... It's been identified and treated, but no one really knows the etiology of it.

Often, we doctors who identify it very generously name it after ourselves. It's part of our altruism.
