My husband's diagnosis

[Flo321]

My husband, Dave, has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimers. Posterior Cortical Atrophy.
He's about to start medication that will hopefully slow the progress of the disease which affects his ability to do things more than memory at the moment. Glenys
