Charles Biétry, the end is near

Now 81 years old, Charles Biétry knows that his days are numbered. “He almost can't speak anymore, we don't understand, he has a very complicated speech problem and has difficulty moving around. He has a youthful eye and he fights…
Really, I am very admiring of his fight because it is a disease from which there is no cure for the moment and that's it.
I talk with him, he can text, so I talk with him very often”revealed Michel Denisot.

The total duration of Charcot disease can vary from a few months to several years. It lasts on average less than four years and, in 50% of cases, death occurs within three years following the first clinical manifestation.
