Hi my Husband has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. He's 50. To be honest I have so many questions not sure where to start. My main concern is our 2 daughters, age 18 and 15. Is there any specific support out there we can access for them?
Doctor has made this diagnosis from MRI, but from what I've googled would he not need further scans before the type of dementia diagnosed ?
Also been told that progress may be rapid, again thought this was individual, what's the general thinking in this. I know I should have asked doctor this but was too stunned.
Sorry to ask so much, this was a totally expected but still shocking diagnosis, except for hubby who is totally relieved.
Thanks in anticipation for all your support x
