DM been unwell for bloody ages, admitted to hospital a few weeks ago with symptoms that they said were ?secondary to ?early onset dementia . I’ve been her carer since I was tiny, I’m now not her carer at all, which is very strange . I almost feel guilty .
They’ve done a lot of scans, full body scan, and brain, different types of scan, and going to get the results tomorrow .
I am absolutely panicked, I’m not going to be at the discussion re results with the doctors, I’m too far away - a relative will ring me and explain results but I am terrified . I ‘lost’ my mum a long time ago due to changes in her personality and behaviour, iyswim, but I’m scared of them confirming it is actually dementia and if that’s the case what would inevitably follow .
I don’t have anyone near me to be with me when I get the results and I’m scared .
Her GP said to me last week she’s 95% convinced that there is something neurologically wrong but whether that’s something that’s going to get progressively worse or on the other hand better, she wasn’t sure and said we’d get a more definitive answer with scan results .
