Yet, even though we don't have the cure or treatment that stops progression, I see a lot of different avenues being tested and feel like something has to work in our favor within the next five years. Until then, we have to be okay with what we have that gets us through the day plus the small improvements in treatment that we are seeing from time to time. What else can we do?Wonder what the odds are in Vegas for something in five years?

thanks, i needed that!
based on past results, vegas odds for a cure can't be good. still, more research on stem cells and growth factors than ever, i haven't googled the research on fetal brain cell implants but i think new trials were starting soon in europe and some people were cured by those treatments around 20years ago and some did much worse so wasn't a slam dunk procedure that the BUSH admin probably wouldn't have supported or allowed.
