RE: Memoir Monday #29 (9/23-9/29) - How would you describe your parents' relationship?

I'm very sorry to hear your father is going through that. It's so challenging. Have you been tested for the gene? My brother and I both carry it. It doesn't mean that we'll develop dementia but we're more likely to than the average person. Diet and lifestyle can better your odds of developing dementia even if you have the gene so it's helpful to know sooner rather than later.

No, we have not tested for gene, we will just face whatever comes our way. We are not likely to survive this long, but who knows !!
