One young woman's story is leaving people devastated as they are stunned at the heartbreak that she's forced to endure at such a young age.
Macey Hamilton was a freshman in high school when she started to notice that her back pain was getting really bad. She felt it might have to do with a sports injury, but her parents urged her to go to the doctor for a checkup.
She underwent a series of tests at the hospital, which brought to light an alarming condition.
Her left kidney was absent. "He was like, did you know that you didn't have a kidney?"- she mentioned in shock while sharing her story.
He wished to further investigate and ordered more imaging and tests, and the whole process of diagnosing her condition lasted for a year.
During her sophomore year, she was officially diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome. Not only was her kidney missing, but she didn't have a uterus or even a vaginal canal. This meant her hopes and dreams of delivering her own baby or becoming a mother were shattered.
