 My Mother's Story: At age seventy-seven, my mother, Mary Monderine Tursi passed away on November 28th, 1998 after suffering many years from Cushing's syndrome. First diagnosed at age seventy, the true cause of my mother's disease was never found even with all the tests and scans given. Her Cushing's syndrome was best characterized as episodic marked by varying degrees of the disease's intensity. She was given various medications and even had most of her Pituitary gland removed, but it never arrested the disease.
Up until the day she died, my mother showed the heart of a lion as she suffered through her pain. She would always try to stay optimistic and never let her children know how much she was suffering. She was the kindest most loving person I will ever know. She touched others lives and was loved by so many. I know she has been reunited with her family and friends in Heaven, free of suffering, and shining down on those she loved.
Hopefully someday there will be a cure for Cushing's whereby no one ever has to suffer like my mother did. My love and prayers are with all Cushing's patients and their families. God Bless you all. |
