Three Shampoo Bottles
Manage episode 290515102 series 2914739
Immediately after Chris was diagnosed with ALS at 37 years old and given 6-18 months to live, we learned he could join an exciting clinical trial for a drug that would be the only hope of saving his life or, at the very least, extending it. The one thing dampening our hope was the fact that Chris had a 1-in-3 chance of getting a placebo rather than the medication during the trial. This, along with hiding his illness from most of the world and, in time, figuring out how to tell people about it, coloured our next several months after Chris' diagnosis.
