You know, it ps.....s's me off. Those of us who have "mets" are considered incurable and the standard of care is sometimes deplorable because of this. "Why pay out the money for someone who's days are numbered anyway?" We have to fight this. I refuse to believe it is incurable, they just don't know how to cure it yet. My mother used to say, "the squeaky wheel gets oiled"...so lets not sit back and accept the dire prognosis. Once there was a man with MS in a wheelchair at the office. He was in the later stages of the disease and the nurse said, "well, he's got MS but he's not as sick as you all". Here I was sitting there looking healthy, tanned and hearty, and this poor man was unable to speak. I will not give up. Call me stubborn but I will not give in to fear, regret and resignation.
