BACK TO THE FUTURE - FOX STUNNED BY PARKINSON'S DISEASE DIAGNOSIS
MICHAEL J FOX was so staggered when he was first diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at 29, he didn't really understand what his doctor was talking about. The actor knew something was amiss because he had an annoying "twitch" but he had no idea he was about to receive the news that would devastate his life. Fox says, "It's like somebody saying, 'You're gonna be hit by a bus but it's not going to be for about 10 years and we're gonna glue you in the road so you can totally see the bus coming but we can't tell you what's gonna happen when it hits you.' "It took some getting used to and you go through all those stages... angry denial. But what's true about that is once you get to acceptance and you accept it, it unleashes a kind of truth in your life that is so powerful."
