44. I know how serious this is . . .

but new treatments keep coming. And I DO hear more positive responses (if not outcomes) as each year passes. My wish for you is to hang on and keep fighting. Some day (like the accidental discovery of penicillin by Fleming) some researcher will get an unexpected EUREKA moment. We just can't know when that moment will occur.
