Morristown Woman Battling MS, Raising Awareness
U
By Evan Wechman nlike much of the general public, Vicky Bashant of Morristown is aware that March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. Bashant, 45, who has been living with this illness for over ten years, has been both an advocate and a philanthropist for the disease. Throughout her journey, Vicky has learned that she is a fighter with a wonderful family. She has had setbacks along the way but is insistent that she won’t let MS define her. She explains that she is her own person and is stronger than the disease. She is a happily married woman to the “love of her life,” Chuck, and has two wonderful sons, Christopher and Luke. Vicky considers herself blessed to have such a close family. However, in 2008, she was feeling ill and experiencing symptoms that caused her to question what she was afflicted with. The symptoms ranged from dizziness and nausea to full blown vertigo. She consulted many doctors who misdiagnosed the illness but finally found a specialist who confirmed that her symptoms were due to a severely debilitating disease known as Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Vicky states that she was like much of the Northern New Jersey population in not being fully aware of the ramifications of this disease. When she was first diagnosed, she “didn’t know what it was and thought it was a death sentence.” Though MS is a debilitating disease, Vicky is going to try this month to show people, especially those recently diagnosed with MS, that their life does not have to end. Through participation in various activities such as the MS Walk, or cook-offs where Vicky displays her talents in the kitchen, Vicky will be at the forefront in the battle against MS.
