Ted Kennedy lasted quite a long time with it, relatively. I had an employee who made it 6 months, but was debilitated for much of that time. A very sad disease.

It was hard seeing my dear employee deteriorate that way.

My mother died of ovarian cancer 30 years ago at 62. Another awful one.

It's such a dreadful disease but somehow he'll find the courage. I hope he's surrounded by family.

I know the pain I've been a life long sufferer of both the disease and the illness. Diverticulitis needs rest , fluids, antibotics.
