This was such an interesting read. So sad, but also inspiring how this woman is putting her fear into action. I had no idea how young FTD could start to affect people. Some people start to have changes in their 20s and 30s before getting more obviously ill in their 40s or 50s. I feel like we have heard about exciting new trials on the horizon for decades with all the dementias, but I hope the ones mentioned here are the ones that finally make headway to curing this awful disease.
