Makenna and Stella: Mayo Miles Walk
5:42
So Stella, tell me a little bit about what Coats disease is and what, how that impacts your little brother.

5:50Stella McCoreGUEST
So when he was about two years old, my parents were taking pictures obviously, and flash on, and when flash would come on, his eye would glow.
S

And at first my parents were like, "Okay, you know, that happens when you take pictures with flash sometimes.
S
6:04Stella McCoreGUEST
That's probably not super abnormal." But then it kept reoccurring in the same eyeOver and over again, and then finally my parents took him to a Duke specialist because we are so fortunate to have Duke nearby, and they are amazing and so skilled and knowledgeable.
S
6:19Stella McCoreGUEST
And so when they took him to Duke, they were trying to decide at the time, and I'm not sure what the te- the medical term is for it, but they were trying to decide whether it was, or determine that from various tests whether it was, um, cancer in the eye or this extremely rare disease called Coats disease.
