Progeria is a rare genetic disorder in which the body ages dozens of times faster than normal. Born with the face of an elderly person, children with this diagnosis rarely survive to adulthood.
Ekaterina Nezhentseva was born with this diagnosis. Today she is 30 years old – an age that, according to doctors, she should not have reached.
Despite the disease, the progression of which in her case affected mainly her appearance, Ekaterina developed like an ordinary child.
She attended kindergarten, played in the yard, and went to school. However, her appearance always remained a source of psychological pressure – from sidelong glances to complete misunderstanding from others.
Since her youth, she dreamed of plastic surgery – not for the sake of beauty, but to look more familiar to others and not cause fear or pity.
Over time, specialists were found who were ready to help. The operation was successful. Although there were few changes, for Ekaterina herself they were an important step.
Unexpectedly for herself, she met love on the Internet. A simple acquaintance, which quickly grew into a strong relationship and marriage. The family had two children. The eldest son is healthy. The youngest, unfortunately, inherited progeria.
The family could not withstand this test – after five years, the husband left. Ekaterina was left alone with two children, one of whom needed constant care.
However, the story did not end there. A new young man appeared in her life, who accepted her as she was. He was not scared off by either the diagnosis or her appearance.
He became a support for Ekaterina and a father to her children. In 2019, he proposed to her. They have been together ever since.
