In Reply to: New treatment seen on Extra TV program - any info? posted by Beth on December 27, 1999 at 16:27:48:

I have a 30 year old brother (I'm 31) and he has lost almost all use of his hands now. He has to be fed, etc. If there is a new treatment, such as the space suit, why isn't if available here?
Also, my parents would never discuss it with me, but is there a life span for those with CP, or is it like everyone else?
I'd appreciate any information.
Thanks,
Suzanne
