I'M STEPPING UP FOR...
Geoffrey Duong
Geoffrey Duong
I’m Geoffrey Duong, retired financial IT forced by Parkinson Disease (PD) I have been living with pd for the last 12 years. In February 2023, I had Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Prior to DBS, I was taking a tablet every 2 hours to manage my pd symptoms. At the time my Neurologist had suggested to do DBS, I was so worried… Thanks to him for his professionalism, expertise in the field, I was referred to a neurosurgeon who convinced me to go through the successful 6 hrs long surgery. A big thank you all medical staff that helped me pulled through the surgery. Otherwise I would have been bed bound now, I believe. My current activities to help slow down my pd conditions while researchers are working on a treatment are: PD warrior, KOPD, speech therapy, walking in local parks and attend community support activity. Your contribution will be much appreciated And thank you for your continued supports.
