In regards to Verminard's post, the doctor was referring to newly diagnosed patients for whom the disease had yet to develop, not those who started on lesser drugs even 10 years ago. I just tried to find the article I was referring to on google, but couldn't, but there is a UK study done in the past few years that doesn't show the same life expectancy vs general population, but it's pretty damn close at this point, like a 20 year old can expect to see 68 vs 77 for a male, whereas 15 years ago, it was a 20 year old would be lucky to see 35.
