Getting this diagnosis for your husband must come as a shock to him, but perhaps not to you. Had you been seeing signs? What help is being offered to you and your husband since getting the diagnosis?

Colleen, thanks for your reply. I think my husband has had dementia for several years. We just ‘now got the diagnosis after a PET scan on his brain. I haven’t reached out to anyone except our children and they have very demanding jobs, not much time off, and really aren’t able to help much. They are willing, just don’t have the time. I was wondering if there is services that we don’t know about. I am 75 and have tarvid dyskinesia and can’t even take care of myself either. Do you know of any assistance? Appreciate your reply. Thanks again, Jennifer
