"I have a sister who is also a Behcet's
patient. She is fighting against the disease for 12 years now.
"
"My sister lost vision in one of her eyes, and the other eye has minimum vision left. But she is overcoming the weakness of her minimal vision. "
Mr. Kim also thanked his sister for paving the way to faster diagnosis of BD in his case.
"I did not know what was wrong with me. I noticed almost all my symptoms were similar to those of my little sister. I was finally diagnosed with Behcet by my sister's doctor. Was I lucky due to my sister? I started receiving treatment after only two months from the first symptoms." (Mr. Pil-Soo Kim, May 2000)
