Tom - I have not been where you are but I have to agree with Liz about the impact you have on this world and how it will affect the ones left behind. You have already made a huge impact on me with just this one post. No one can understand better than you and Liz and Georgia and so many others here, the horror of this disease, how it takes so many and affects their families and countless others. I cannot help but feel that the experiences and genuine feelings shared here will have an impact on how we make decisions regarding this disease, its management, research and maybe even the insurance companies who seem to hold all the cards.
