“It’s getting harder, every day it’s getting harder,” said the actor, best known for the film series “Back to the Future” in the 1980s, on CBS in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
The disease was diagnosed in 1991 in then 29-year-old Fox. “I won’t be 80,” said the 61-year-old. Fox said he broke his arms, elbows, hand and bones in his face as a result of several falls following tumor surgery on his spine. Falls are a common cause of death in Parkinson’s patients.
In mid-April, the Parkinson Foundation, founded by Fox, reported success in research into the previously incurable nervous disease. A study initiated and co-financed by the foundation showed that the detection of a protein in the brain fluid enables Parkinson’s to be diagnosed long before the onset of the disease. This should significantly improve the development of therapies.
- The whole interview – touching and encouraging at the same time:
The interview revealed that Fox found it difficult to control his movements when speaking. But he still doesn’t let himself be defeated. Optimism can be maintained with gratitude, Fox said in the interview. “If you can find something to be grateful for, something to look forward to, then move on.”
Apple TV has announced a documentary regarding the life of Michael J. Fox called “Still” for mid-May. It is said to be regarding his meteoric rise as an actor in the 1980s, as well as his Parkinson’s diagnosis and how he dealt with the disease.
