You WILL live to get a cell implant that WILL almost eliminate pd symptoms. It WILL be available before you are like many of us who are too "long in the tooth" with this disease. I had similar hopes 17 years ago, but it was not to be, but you, and all those who are at the beginning of this terrible journey, as YPWP, you guys and gals have REAL reason for hope, and soon I might add. How soon? I give it within the proverbial "5 more years" when a working safe cell implant strategy is initiated, on the market.
