To: ALS
I am not a doctor.

That said: there are some early treatments to assist an ALS patient, however, there is no cure and the usually time from onset to death is between 3-5 years.

However, I did see an article online about a possible cure for ALS that they may have uncovered through the use of stem cells.

May want to go here to start looking:

Sorry for your diagnosis.
