NEO, I don't know you, had never even heard of you before reading this thread, but having, as one does at this age, a number of friends suffering from this terrible disease, some of whom are sadly no longer with us, I read through it. From the lows to the highs, you never lost hope, you never gave up, you never showed any bitterness, and have made a full recovery thanks to your own bravery and the love and support of those around.
Wonderful to read a story with a happy ending, I only wish there were more so. My best.
