Terry Crews' Wife Beats Parkinson's with Breakthrough Treatment

0:00On April 8th, Terry Cruz and his wife Rebecca are getting real about her 16-year battle with Parkinson's disease. She just underwent this breakthrough soundway procedure that slashed her uncontrollable tremors. It's a non-invasive treatment, using focused ultrasound to zap the brain signals, causing the shakes, and has already changed her life big time. Rebecca first spotted symptoms back in 2011, while biking numbness and stiffness hit during a rocky patch in their marriage. She breasted off as stress at first, but a morning tremor confirmed her fears, especially with family history on both sides. Terry noticed her hiding it, trying to power through a loan. Watching her wear down has been tough on Terry, especially with prescription meds bringing nasty side effects. On top of Parkinson's, she'd be breast cancer too, going through a double mastectomy in 2020 and coming out cancer-free. Through it all, they've leaned on each other hard. These days, Rebecca's crushing it, handling 90% of what she wants without letting the disease stop her.

1:01She calls Terry her rock, crediting his support and resources for top doctors, and this rare procedure only about 100 patients nationwide have. Trited so far. Dr. Vivek Buck from Stanford calls it cutting-edge neurosurgery, praising Rebecca for stepping up not just for herself, but to push the field forward. For the nearly 1 million Americans living with Parkinson's, their story shows real grit turning pain into progress.
