Neil,

Welcome to the forum. That was one of the first questions I asked. (HOW LONG) The problem is no one knows. Everything Gary and Mark said is true, Live each day the best you can!!
Who knows when the bus will hit you. The hardest part for me is to not focus on the end and what it will be like. But rther focus on each day I have and enjoy my family and friends as much as I can.

Candace,

Welcome to the club nobody wants to join! Bet you heard that one before! I like your no none sense approach to the causes and treatment of this diaease.
It is refreshing. I love a realist and an honest one at that
The longer you lurk the better you get to know so many different members. Every time we lose a member to this bastard of a diaease it is another piece of me gone. Thats how much I've
grown to love the OCF and it's members.

Best Wishes, Your Friend, Danny Boy
