This disease is characterized by an abnormal growth of smooth muscle cells, especially in the lungs, lymphatic system and kidneys.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Over 3,500 women globally have been diagnosed with LAM, but it is suspected there may be as many as 250,000 undiagnosed or misdiagnosed patients living with LAM. Most women with LAM have symptoms for several years before being properly diagnosed, I myself have been living with LAM for 16 years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of the 7,000 known rare diseases, LAM is one of only 500 with a treatment. While many women with LAM add several years to their lives through treatments available, oxygen therapy, or lung transplantation, there is no cure for this fatal disease. The LAM Foundation believes this problem is potentially solvable in our lifetimes, and so do I.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">WWLAM is a month to raise awareness of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). During the month of June, I will join other women with LAM, their family and friends, scientists and clinicians, and The LAM Foundation to raise awareness about this disease.

Si bien muchas mujeres con LAM agregan varios años a sus vidas a través de los tratamientos disponibles, terapia de oxígeno o trasplante de pulmón, no existe cura para esta enfermedad fatal.

A couple of years ago my sister was having some friends over and she prepared this Beans Salad recipe, which I almost refused to taste (on account that I hate beans), but when I finally gave in and tasted it, I loved it, I was like, If there is a good-tasting way of preparing beans why do they make that horrible stewed beans, and why was I forced to eat them when I was a kid? My mom could have given me this salad and I would have loved to eat beans.

Hace un par de años mi hermana invitó a unos amigos a cenar a la casa y preparó esta receta de Ensalada de Habichuelas, que casi me negué a probar (por que odio las habichuelas), pero cuando finalmente cedí y la probé, me encantó, dije, si hay una manera de preparar habichuelas con buen sabor, ¿por qué hacen esas habichuelas guisadas horribles y por qué me vi obligada a comerlas cuando era una niña? Mi mamá podría haberme dado esta ensalada y me hubiera encantado comer habichuelas.

Este lugar es especial para mí porque está conectado emocionalmente con mi infancia. Mi papá nació en esta región e hicimos este viaje varias veces solos y con nuestra familia extendida cuando mis hermanas y yo éramos pequeñas, y tenemos muchos buenos recuerdos y anécdotas divertidas de esos viajes. El sur de la República Dominicana es hermoso y muy rico en biodiversidad.</span></span></div><div><span lang="ES-TRAD"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span lang="ES-TRAD"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm3t59x0sw6O3_Ful11nadtePnTmi6tz8gPV-Ow5BaxbzS1fc0TLKse2ZZLkG4gVudK7P0wHiGgVEvz9mHaWxxvUDpWOtUVCBrReHXnVhb5T4mVMYAXRcdd_zkRH0-soYEfs3oH192abI/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Frenchy's Art, illustration, digital, painting, drawing, travel, adventure, road trip, biodiversity, flora, fauna, viajes, aventura, Dominican Republic, República Dominicana, biodiversidad, carretera" data-original-height="1234" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm3t59x0sw6O3_Ful11nadtePnTmi6tz8gPV-Ow5BaxbzS1fc0TLKse2ZZLkG4gVudK7P0wHiGgVEvz9mHaWxxvUDpWOtUVCBrReHXnVhb5T4mVMYAXRcdd_zkRH0-soYEfs3oH192abI/s16000/Mapping-Special-Places-Enriquillo-Lake-Dominican-Republic-Section.png" title="Mapping Special Places: Enriquillo Lake Illustrated Map by Frenchy G.V." /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /></span></span><span lang="ES-TRAD"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div></div><a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/21020881/?claim=jyz6k4b2aaf">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>Frenchyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01763380430043179474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512032457764037188.post-49702377445817985662020-09-08T00:30:00.073-04:002021-06-14T19:27:00.735-04:00Hope<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="ES-TRAD"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBYQ1Q89zxo5HWIwtl_JV0-VPTINs_g17TAOsfk0fpU_q67XgTQ5_h6Wz_UWYEnqICTVC0boqKmGvUBvIK5_uhIisfx9UvYAfTFfzbbytlmSX0F6VSgKXz62F-cMBT_iwUQbGbT96XzRs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="digital painting, pintura, dibujo, drawing, flowers, flores, melocotones, peaches, esperanza, fruits, frutas, symbolism, simbolismo, nature, naturaleza, typography, tipografía" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBYQ1Q89zxo5HWIwtl_JV0-VPTINs_g17TAOsfk0fpU_q67XgTQ5_h6Wz_UWYEnqICTVC0boqKmGvUBvIK5_uhIisfx9UvYAfTFfzbbytlmSX0F6VSgKXz62F-cMBT_iwUQbGbT96XzRs/s16000/Hope-Peaches.png" title="Hope by Frenchy G.V." /></a></div><br /><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="ES-TRAD">Title: Hope<br /></span><span lang="ES-TRAD">Medium: Digital Illustration<br /></span><span lang="ES-TRAD">Size: 10" x 10"<br /></span><span lang="ES-TRAD">Date: June 2020</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="ES-TRAD"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>I painted this in honour of LAM awareness month. The word hope intertwined with a bouquet of peaches which have the symbolism of hope.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was diagnosed with LAM (Lymphangioleiomyomatosis) 15 years ago, which is a rare lung disease that usually strikes women during the prime of their lives. This disease is characterized by an abnormal growth of smooth muscle cells, especially in the lungs, lymphatic system and kidneys, and unregulated growth of these cells can lead to loss of lung function, accumulation of lymph rich-fluid in the chest and abdomen and growth of tumours in the kidneys. It is estimated that for every million women, three-five will have LAM. All races are affected and women with LAM have been identified in over sixty countries. Most women with LAM have had symptoms for several years before ultimately being diagnosed.</div><div><br /></div><div>June has been designated Worldwide LAM Awareness Month (WWLAM) by the Worldwide LAM Patient Coalition. WWLAM brings together the global community in a collaborative effort to educate the world about the signs and symptoms of LAM, raise funds to support women living with LAM and share their achievements to inspire researchers and clinicians to optimize therapies and find a cure for LAM.</div><div><br /></div><div>To learn more about LAM and to make a donation visit The LAM Foundation website <a href="https://thelamfoundation.org">https://www.thelamfoundation.org.</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://give.thelamfoundation.org/fundraiser/3289612" target="_blank">Please donate if you can.</a></div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">🇪🇸</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Título: Hope (Esperanza)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Medio: Ilustración digital</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tamaño: 10" x 10"</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fecha: junio de 2020</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pinté esto en honor al mes de concienciación sobre LAM.

Esta enfermedad se caracteriza por un crecimiento anormal de las células musculares lisas, especialmente en los pulmones, el sistema linfático y los riñones, y el crecimiento no regulado de estas células puede conducir a la pérdida de la función pulmonar, la acumulación de líquido rico en linfa en el pecho y el abdomen y el crecimiento de tumores en los riñones. Se estima que por cada millón de mujeres, tres a cinco tendrán LAM. Todas las razas están afectadas y se ha identificado a mujeres con LAM en más de sesenta países. La mayoría de las mujeres con LAM han tenido síntomas durante varios años antes de ser diagnosticadas.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Junio ha sido designado como el Mes Mundial de Concientización LAM (WWLAM) por parte de la Coalición Mundial de Pacientes LAM.
