It broke my heart to hear that Michael J. Fox, the famous actor and Parkinson’s disease supporter, has been sick again after thirty years of fighting the disease. Fox is still eager to win his fight against Parkinson’s, even though he has to deal with a lot of problems.
Fox recently said in an interview that living with Parkinson’s is getting harder, saying it outright: “it’s getting tougher.” He also said that he had surgery on his spine to remove a small tumour that was limiting his movement and causing several broken bones. Fox made it clear that Parkinson’s disease does not kill, saying, “You don’t die from Parkinson’s.” If you have Parkinson’s, you die.
Fox’s new documentary, “Still,” gives a moving look into his life with Parkinson’s, showing the terrible pain and shaking he has to deal with every day. Even though things are hard, Fox is still his usual positive self and says he’s not “going anywhere.” His unshakeable faith and strength continue to inspire a huge number of fans and other people with Parkinson’s disease all over the world.
