Tough news, but still some hope. With all you have gone through you need a break.

Either you have not been good....or it is more age related bad luck. Either way, all the best wishes to you FF. Stay positive and beat it back.

Keep a positive outlook, Fred.

Went through a bout of "super bug" infection with a family member several years ago. The drug companies had some new anti biotics that came out around that time that completely wiped it out.

Prayers sent, there's a cure to work for you !

No one ever said getting less young would be easy but you have beaten it back before & with a little help from modern medicine can do again. Best of luck to you brother, you got this!
