To Pat G.: My wife, who is in her early thirties, was recently diagnosed with PCV. Many of the medical journals talk of a low median duration, but it appears that most of the cases followed are older people anyhow.

Have your doctors told you that your length of having the disease is "normal" for people diagnosed in your age group? Our doctor is vague and keeps reminding us he doesn't own a crystal ball. Thank you.
