[quote=Anonymous]Reminds me of the joke: Dr says to his patient: I have some very bad news for you. I am afraid you have Alzheimer’s, and you have cancer. The old man says: Cancer? Oh well, at least I don’t have Alzheimer’s! I agree that the diagnosis is really secondary, even irrelevant. It is how they manage in their daily lives that is key. They want agency. Many people, probably alarge majority, prefer to live in denial until the situation is totally untenable. And the fact is, that we don’t have much choice if this is the case. Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath and step back and let things play out, being ready to intervene when the time is right. It is frustrating.[/quote]
