As soon as her son Enzo was born, Cindy "knew" that something was wrong. Months of isolation, mistrust and misunderstanding followed... a period of diagnostic wandering typical of rare diseases.
Cindy, Lola and Enzo tell their stories of how a rare disease is a daily struggle for families. It's a battle in which each one of them fights his or her own battle... as mother, sister and patient.
"In the world of rare diseases, this manga becomes a beacon of hope. Through its stories, it highlights the challenges, resilience and victories of families affected by myasthenia gravis. A powerful testament to the strength of the rare disease community. We are grateful to Fondation Ipsen for its essential support."
