Cheryl, who is known to our ET family as Cher, introduced herself to us in 2016 after looking for additional information on a condition that has affected her, her Grandmother, Mother, Father, Brother and now has passed on to her son. She also worked with her mother until her passing in 2016 on helping her deal with dominant ET and Parkinson's. Her mother went through dual DBS surgery at age 82 which greatly helped give her back some quality of life and her fabulous skills as a concert/professional pianist.
