“Three weeks later it happens again, but worse,” Dane continued. “I can’t grip the chopsticks at all.”
This led the Last ship star of what would become a nine-month period of “searching for answers” to his then-inexplicable symptoms, according to the memoir, released November 3.
Dane shared that he was ultimately diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrigof the disease, by a neurologist from the University of California at San Francisco Dr Mark Terrelongewriting that he immediately called Gayheart-Dane after the date.
And he told her the news was “what we feared.”
“I don’t remember a single word I said after that,” Dane wrote. “I remember just feeling a sharp impact, like the wind was knocked out of me, and Rebecca was moaning on the other end of the line, and then I was really losing my mind, and my sobs were making my body shudder, and I could hear her words flowing through her tears, ‘I’m here, we’re going to fight together, I’m not going anywhere.'”
