"The only illness people make fun of"..... a quote from Radio 2's Jeremy Vine programme this lunchtime and as the lady said it, I thought... you know she's correct.
It was the part of the programme talking about testing for dementia. Her husband had Alzheimer's from 48 years of age and it took 7 years to get a diagnosis - common. Her mother in law also has dementia.
A very moving interview and piece and it will be available from the BBC2 web site for a while yet. The programme starts each day at 12.00 and today, this item started about 1.20.
