I knew a great Scottish lad who was only 32 years of age when he was diagnosed with the symptoms.It was a great shock, probably the last time I saw him and he died just over 2 years of pain and suffering.
Truly my heart goes out to Steph and her family.

My wife's nephew was diagnosed around 6-8 months ago and he's really deteriorated recently...

Heart wrenching as they have 2 kids of around 4 and 6 who don't know yet....

There seems to be no justice in this world... SWMBO has a type of cancer and struggles with the mental anguish of "watching and waiting" for it to develop...

While total c***s live to a ripe old age

That's pretty sad as is Stephs husband having it too.

I was just reading abt it, one in every 50'000 develop the condtion each year, the majority with a life expectancy of 3 years. Cruel.

Sue's nephew went to see a specialist at John Radcliffe in Oxford.. the country's leading authority and he said "don't worry, I have people on my books who have lived for 10 years"

He was devastated....

 

[SWP's back]

Oh that’s terrible. Very sad to hear.

 

[Bill]

it's the age of the boy that is particularly cruel. I wish him well.
