I also was recently diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia although its taken three long years to get a positive diagnosis and I'm actually glad because I can at last accept and plan the future while I can . I've never met anyone with it which would make me feel better to be with someone else who has it but what I really wanted to say is that you both gave me the wonderful feeling , hey 👋 I'm not alone , thank you both . I will add that I have the same symptoms of apathy and frustration and anger and memory and speech are now ever present . Thank you so much and I love you both . Keep going . Don't dwell on what may come . I don't.
