My husband passed away from ALS in 2018. He lasted 10 months from time of diagnosis. To understand this disease and understand how long a patient lasts is to realize that the majority of patients are not going to last 8 years. So much depends on where the disease starts. Does it start in the outer extremities, the arms, the legs. Or does it start in the diaphragm, which affects the breathing, talking, swallowing. They last a much shorter time. I hope this injustice can be rectified.
