I'm new to this but it seems from what I've gathered so far that the folks that survive more than 5 years tend to be folks that got ALS relatively early in life. True ? Any examples out there of someone diagnosed in their 50's or later that lived more than 5 years ?
I'm guessing there tend to be more folks in their 20's or 30's where the disease progression is slow, but by the time you get into your 50's and beyond the progression is typically more rapid. But I'm just guessing, so hoping for more clarification from you guys. Thanks.
