My dad - only 59 - has been recently diagnosed and I could seriously do with some advice. He has always been very active and the family think that knowing he has Alz. would be the worst possible thing for him. He has already attempted to take his life once (for other reasons) and is aware that his memory is decreasing. He knows only too well what this cruel disease is like as his aunt suffered from it and died this year. The only problem is we worry that the doctors won't take any notice of our views and tell him anyway. I love him to bits and we want him to enjoy his last years rather than know he is slowing fading away. So if anyone has any advice I would be grateful.
Also we believe him to be in middle early stages - if that makes sense! How long can we expect him to live??
Thanks.
