Hi, my husband is 59 and was just diagnosed with mild dementia last week. We also learned that he has had a stroke. We don't know when it happened, but I believe it was related to his hospitalization in October of 2022. This is all brand new, and we're still figuring out how to handle any of it..

My husband is about to turn 58 in a couple weeks and we just found out he may have EOD, I am 9 years younger than him. His mom passed away in February 2022 from Dementia. He is going to do a clinical trial where he will have MRI and PET scans and a spinal tap. If anything, maybe he can be contributing to help find a cure down the road. We both work full time, together! I don’t know if I would have known he was having cognitive issues, had we not worked together for the last year, kinda a blessing in disguise. I need to start figuring out all the things I need to do and get in order.1

how are you doing? Have you been able to start getting things in order for down the road?
