What's even worse is when you have an autoimune disease like progressive MS and the main treatment
is to take down the immune system to stop it attacking your body, unfortunately the main side effect
is that it open the person up to attack from cancer and other opportunistic diseases. people with MS
and suppressed immune system cannot undergo Chemotherapy due tho their already weakened state.

My wife and a friend of hers were sharing the same MS journey when the friend was diagnosed
with stage 4 Lung cancer, the poor darling was only 56 and passed away earlier this year, far too young.
We've had our close calls but still here and still full of life.

Not meant as a sympathy story but to share that living in the shadow of the disease and being a carer
gives me a unique perspective on life and actually living every moment. In spite of all the shyte, we will
be going to the Fleetwood Mac concert in Brizzy tonight, disabled park right near the entrance, wheel her
in the chair so that able body people don't knock her over when they just have to be first and walk in front.
People are generally good and make way when they see someone in a chair, amazing the attitude change.
