So helpful! My mother hasn’t officially been diagnosed yet, with her thoughts being “why find out?” As her daughter, I don’t agree with this thinking. I want to be proactive and maybe participate in a trial.

I find it hard to take my husband out where there are other people, other than family are, because I never know what he will say….. he will say things that aren’t true and things that may have a little truth but described with things that can be vulgar or embarressing that otherwise he would not say. He has dementia/alzheimer’s.
