JFK-1 1,693 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Stephen Hawking has shown that Fernando Ricksen could live a long life. I think Hawking is one of relatively few long term survivors. Average life expectancy is from two to five years from onset of symptoms. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I have two cousins that succumbed to this horrible disease - neither lasted 5 years. JFK is right - Hawking is the exception rather than the norm. That said, no reason why Fernando cant be an exception too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he is but I would think his deterioration rate speaks against that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
