Hi all, I’m new here so need a bit of advice. My Mum is in her 70s-still working, driving, no obvious concerns with memory or personality change.
She had a MR head for a completely unrelated issue and we have received a letter to say it shows atrophy consistent with Alzheimer’s Disease.
I have no idea if this is a diagnosis, why this was sent to us by post instead of a discussion and what she should do next.
As a family, this has come completely out of the blue and we are totally shocked. Has anyone been in the situation where there are scan changes but no symptoms and does it always mean AD?
