BG I am shocked to hear this. Like others on here I dont know you personally but we are all related by our love of the chooks. Stay strong mate and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Never heard of this illness until a few years ago when a mates brother was diagnosed...........hideous.
Mr G i dont know ya from Adam either but you seem like the type of guy who would cut off his arse and shit through his ribs for his kids and God knows i respect that...........Good luck Sir!!

[Hawkeye]

Not good to hear. Like others have said BillyG, have never met you and only know you from here as part of the chookie family, but always enjoy reading your stuff.
Best wishes to you, and hope the chooks give you more enjoyment for a long time to come .....with maybe a little less of the heart attack stuff !

..Your little one looks like a real cutie in those dressing room photos

Thanks Guys for all your kind words

The key for us is to stay positive and create the best memories we can as a family for as long as we can. Try and pack as many life experiences in whilst the quality is there.

There are a number of clinical trials in Sydney and I am up for em all......

Mate i really hate to say it but that doesnt sound overly positive. What have they told you re treatment and recovery if you dont mind me asking!?

[Billy Gunn]

There isn't anything real positive about MND to be honest but you have to play the cards your dealt I guess.

There is one drug that is proven in some cases to slow the progression down and that's really about it. That drug has only been on the market for about 10 years so too early to really know the extent of it's success.

So they can slow it but not stop it!?

No, before this drug there was no treatment

[Adolf Fittler]

No, before this drug there was no treatment

So can the new drug stop it!?

My thoughts and prayers are with you Billy, so sorry to hear mate

My cousin has this disease and about the only thing about Hadley i like is his dedication to raising both money AND awareness of this disease. We had a little auction-fundraiser and Hadley gave the night a free plug all day and got us an extra 1000 people thru the door.

All the best my friend.

Correct. My old man was promised all these new drugs but they never came.

Mate if you need any help PM me.
