New hope for people with Alzheimer's disease
Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, is now the second leading cause of death in Australia, and the leading cause of death for women. It is estimated that over 421 000 Australians are currently living with dementia. And that means, of course, that their spouses, children and grandchildren, other family members and friends are living with it too - living with the fact that their loved one is dying a death of a thousand cuts as their memories, personality and ability to carry out normal activities of daily living are relentlessly, remorselessly stolen from them, day by painful day.
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
