Hi all,
My name is Andy, my father has been diagnosed with Altzhiemer's. I have read as much as i can and i understand the disease to a degree.
I have accepted that it is terminal, and i have explained all what i have learned from this great site to my mother, who is as you can understand distraught.
My father is 69 yrs old and at the moment is only forgetting once in a while, however hi writing skills have deteriorated to the extent that is writing is non - ledgable.
My mother keeps asked roughly how long he has to live as she would like to give him the best she can while he can remember out of life, so far i have been unable to acertain roughly how long this disease takes before it overcome the host.
Please, i would appreciate if anyone could give me some idea as to how long it all lasts so that i can help my mother.
regards
