Hi I'm new here and today isn't a good day. At the age of 54 my darling husband got the diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's this week, although we suspected this was the case I still feel like I've been hit by a train. I've been concerned about my husband for a few years but he would not accept that anything was wrong, we did go to the GP a few years ago but at the time he said he wasn't too concerned and my husband would not pursue the matter. It was due to an issue at work at the start of this year that finally persuaded him to go the the doctor which resulted in a referral to the memory clinic, MRI scan and cognitive tests. Thankfully we have made LPA's and updated our wills but I feel completely overwhelmed and confused, I just don't know what to do now, how do others deal with the uncertainty of living with Alzheimer's?
I'm so flipping angry, we love travelling but this definitely isn't a journey we want to be on!
