Just been reading this. How terrible for everyone concerned.

Very sad, my mum is 76 and some people say she is too young for dementia ,I can't imagine being diagnosed so young :-(, dementia is a terrible illness , sometimes the change in personality are the hardest thing to cope with and accept

Many years ago a work colleague developed Alzheimer's in his mid-30's, he was eventually dismissed because although the company paid for him to see their doctor neither he of his wife would accept that there was a a problem and he did not get a diagnosis until the dementia was more advanced. It was a terrible tragedy as they had 2 very young children.
