As I understand it, the disease will kill him within two or maybe three years since the diagnosis. At of now, Jerry has perhaps one or two more years. He is happy since he is pain-free from his back pain for 37 years!

He may not make the mext Telethon!

I had not realized that. During the interview I saw, he indicated the Predisone use would be decreased slowly but he still had another 18 months before he was off the drug completely. He didn't say anything about his disease being terminal.

Sorry to hear that.
