Hi everyone, My Dads recently been diagnosed with dementia and Parkinsons disease. He is only 58. Its hard to accept the diagnosis because he is so "himself" most of the time. He has Lewybody dementia, I've been reading about it as much as possible but would really appreciate any 1st hand knowledge of this condition.
When i was first told about my dads illness i was just relieved he didn,t have a brain tumour but now i.m gaining knowledge of this terrible diagnosis i.m finding it harder and harder to stay positive. I can't imagine how my dad must be feeling.
My mum thinks he needs a second opinion and they've got it wrong but perhaps she just can't face the reality.
Has anyone got any advice? or just a chat would be lovely.
Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Kelly
