Shitty disease. Lost my grandad to it on Xmas Day years ago, lost my dad to it at 47, lost Gemma to it aged 5, lost my gf mother to it aged 58. Thing is it doesn't matter how much money you have, it's gonna get you in the end.
All you can do is scream silently and wait for the breakdown.

Perhaps worth adding this positive bit
The ex-world number one previously underwent treatment for early-stage breast cancer in 2010.
The 66-year-old said: "This double whammy is serious but still fixable, and I'm hoping for a favourable outcome.
"It's going to stink for a while but I will fight with all I have got."
A statement from her representative described the prognosis as "good".
"Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with stage one throat cancer," the statement said. "The prognosis is good and Martina will start her treatment this month.

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully your family and kin won't be touched by it in the future.
That's awful, very sorry to hear it.
That’s awful - so sorry Lenny.
Thanks. It is was it is (who said that) I'd like to say I'm over it but I'm not really. It's Gemma that annoys me more cos everyone else knew they had it, she cracked on with life oblivious. I'd swap places with her now if I could, and like everyone else I'd do that for any child.
On we go though, stiff upper lip and crack on.
