How many of us, upon receiving that kind of diagnosis would simply "opt out" of putting their families through the care required?
2 of my kids are Drs. Both has "offered" to help me if that is my choice. This actually is extremely calming to me. 15 years of care for my sweet dad--NOBODY should have to go through that.
My dad was not dxed until he'd had it for about 8-10 years---but that's a guessitmate.
All I know is it's one horrible disease and it scares the bejeebers out of me.
