For a long time i have been wondering"is it just me?" but i dont think it is anymore.When Margaret Hupe,myself and a few others were in the thick of caring for our husbands, everyone was quite surprised at how young they were.then Kate joined the forum and we were all horrified that someone her age was suffering so badly.Now it seems nearly every week we get a younger new member.Is the diease on the increase or are we getting the message out there and its being picked up quicker?

This is going to be one helluva fight for you with such a young family and i wish you all the best .

As for your question,Rob had a lemon wedge dissection of his tongue and they knew he had cells left and thought rads would mop up any stragglers. You can see from my signature they were wrong,so perhaps it will be better not to leave anything to chance

love liz
