Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 3360930, member: 5037"] Well cancer is “just” an invasion of cancerous cells. ALS is such a complicated disease (which, thanks to him, we will understand much better over the next 10 years) that it’s probably not as simple as a medication like what’s done with Parkinson’s or dementia, or any progressive neurological disease; at best, said medications slow the progression. Therapy, namely respiratory muscle strength training, is starting to demonstrate a slowing effect of the progression, as respiratory decline is often what eventually kills the patient. But we still know so little. GBM is also horrible. I’ve been seeing it a little more frequently in my practice recently. [/QUOTE]
