skillz123,
I agree with everything you say. Yeah I was told 20 years ago (when dx'd ) that a cure was 10 years away. Well, it's been an awfully looonnngggg 10 years !!!!!! I'm optimistic that a cure can eventually be found but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.
About the $$$$$ deal: Drug companies will be hurtin if all illnesses/diseases are cured. We have to cushion the pockets of the "fat cats". I believe though that if a cure is ever found and proven to work, I would hope that the children would be cured first !!!!!!!! The children are our future and they are what matters. I've lived with the big "D" for 20 years. With good control, I can get more time. We need to heal the kids first.
Ok, off my soapbox now. Sorry it's so long.

PS Don't get me wrong, I'm still fighting but I've begun to think in priorities.
