At age fifty-six, Diana was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa. The doctor said there was no cure. Her own research on the internet confirmed that there was no cure. So she tried to adjust to the idea of continuing to lose her eyesight with a good attitude. Really she did. In fact, sometimes she went for several weeks without typing "retinitis Pigmentosa" into her search engine, looking for a cure. One day, she found new information - not for a cure - but for a treatment. Well, she thought, a treatment was better than nothing. And so began her journey of hope.
