Dr Sam Moxon - Never Truly Known, The Reality of Lewy Body Dementia

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Sam reflects on the reality of Lewy body dementia through both his research background and his experience caring for his grandfather. He explores why LBD is so difficult to diagnose, how symptoms fluctuate, and how families are often left without clarity or closure. The piece speaks to the emotional weight of uncertainty and the importance of continuing to talk about LBD, not to find neat answers, but to help future families feel less alone.
