The Lustgarten Foundation ( http://www.lustgarten.org ) is a great source of information on the disease, research and opportunities for contribution. |
I saw that yesterday and I couldn't believe you could be diagnosed on Sunday and be gone by Wednesday. That's just mind-boggling. I'm sure there might've been some symptoms before that, but as Rut mentioned, he was a former football player who probably didn't like to complain about his little "aches and pains".
