When I was talking to Alice Peterson about If You Were Here, the first question she asked me was one I’m often asked: How do people cope if they test positive for the HD gene? Obviously each patient is different, but in the past twelve years I have witnessed great courage, resilience and humour at the very darkest of times. People don’t give up or feel that life isn’t worth living anymore. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to cope with adversity, and I continue to be in awe of their strength. It is always a privilege to be a part of their journey.
