Tamykah Anthony- Marston is a daughter. A sister. A mother. A cousin. A friend. And a wife. She has been diagnosed with a rare condition affecting her eyes called Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy. Here she is talking about it in her own words:
"A few months back I started losing vision suddenly in my left eye. Three doctor visits later I was diagnosed with something called Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy....a condition where abnormal blood vessels constantly pop up and burst in my eyes creating active bleeding hemorrhaging and blood clots impairing my vision. Besides it being a super rare condition, for some reason it is also super aggressive with me. Even after enduring countless painful eye injections, my condition progressed quickly and did not get any better. My vision continued to gradually get worse which made me push myself to do as much as I could with my product line, my 3D print designing, tutoring as many children as I could, my Couples Reconnect Events, launching my tutoring cafe and so much more...but more importantly inspire as many people as I could. A few days ago, I woke up with a complete loss of vision in my left eye. The scariest thing I have ever experienced. I struggled to see to communicate with others, respond to emails and messages, and even walking around my own home. An ER visit revealed that my left eye is completely filled with blood and needs a complicated and urgent surgery to remove all the blood and clots before it causes something even more disastrous than vision loss. I have to thank everyone that has supported me on this journey even those who had no idea...those who keep positive words in my ears to flush out the fear that sometimes takes over my own thoughts...those who support my vision and my purpose..those who have allowed me to inspire them and have in turn inspired me. You truly have no idea the strength inside until it is put to the test. I can honestly say this is the greatest test of my strength but anyone who knows me knows I have never failed a test in my life and I CHOOSE to continue that streak!" -Tamykah Anthony-Marston, CEO Xanthines Cafe'
