“At the Patient Support Meeting (PSM), for the first time, I looked into the eyes of another person with the same disease, saw them move like me, saw them use the same tricks that I use to get through their day. This gave me an immense feeling of no longer being alone and it’s a wonderful feeling. I would say that I’ve never been as happy and confident before the PC PSM experience.” a PCer.
