Good grief, Hilary, you've had PD 28 yrs!! How old were you when you diagnosed? When I survived ovarian cancer in 1979, I thought I was home free! Ha, Ha.. What ordeals you must have experienced. I hope I was not misunderstood, re celebs, I"m grateful to Fox for what he has done, bringing attn to PD, and if Reno runs, good for her. I just think the public perceives it as not such a big deal. I continued to work part-time the first two yrs I had it. I had retired from teaching in 1991 at 55, but went back to secretarial menial jobs. I can just get by byt myself now, but I"ve only had it 5 yrs. How gave you done it for 28 yrs, one moment, one day at a time.
