Please help:
After having CT and MRI scans I have been diagnosed with profound and symmetrical cerebellar hemisphere atrophy.
Every one I know including Drs seem to be very concerned but helpless.
I have not been offered any treatment.
Could someone out there please help and explain what I have and if there is any treatment?.
