Hi, Single loner 62 years young. Our histories are very similar (in terms of feelings, isolation, late in life diagnosis.) I am new here also. a mother of three grown daughters, and reaching out, finally at age 70, to make a more social connection (rather than only to doctors or the latest "wonder-pill".) Hope to hear from you again.
