Dear HarryBoy,
Welcome to Talking Point, your question is a tough one to answer as everyone's disease progresses at its own rate.
From personal experience my mum was diagnosed at between stage 2 and 3 seven years ago and it is probably the last year that she has been unable to manage herself. Like I said there is a great variety from person to person.
You'll probably find a larger response on the support for dementia suffers and their carers forum come along and introduce yourself to everyone we're a friendly bunch.
Also have you been given medication as this can affect the progression my mum was given Aricept and it help her to experience next to no decline for mearly 3 years.
