Dr Héctor García Caballero
My name is Héctor Manuel García Caballero and I am 44-year-old retired veterinary surgeon. I was born in Mexico City but for the past three years I have lived in Cuernavaca, Morelos. I am married with a young son.

I have had MS since 1983 and my diagnosis was confirmed after a relapse in 1989. Almost 15 years ago what began as relapse-remitting MS developed into secondary progressive MS.
