I am 59 years of age have one son of 34years and a grandaughter of 9 years. I have one sister 4 years older than myself and a mother who is 94 years of age in good health other than her ears and eyes. I also have an extended family of nieces and nephews. Iwas diagnosed in October 2006 and it was a mind shattering blow to all the family I have just now started to come to terms with it if that is at all possible. Put it this way I amfighting it for allI am worth.
