Finally today after quite a few years of wondering we have had a diagnosis for dad of mixed dementia, vascular dementia also alzheimers although it was no surprise I'm now feeling anxious about what the future holds... Does both types of dementia mean that things could get worse than if just one condition was diagnosed? We were also told that dad has some fluid on his brain but at 91 they say that it is unlikely that the neurosurgeon will want to do anything once he has seen dad.. My dad lives with us and I am full time carer and don't get much rest and it looks like my rest will disappear has things progress.. Dad has been prescribed donepezil I know that everyone reacts differently to medication but was wondering if it will benefit him xx
