Gloomy statistics that I have never seen before.
Bring some placebos real quick; reality is not my favorite destination.

OMG - how depressing is that to read! Having just about (I thought) come to terms with my husband's diagnosis just over two years ago, to read something like this is so demoralising. I feel back to square one again - absolutely terrified of the future and depressed beyond words.
