Lesley

Our friend Lauren from across the pond joins us to share her mother Lesley's journey with FTD. Lauren takes us through the search for answers as to her mother's change in behavior - and the parts of her mothers life that made it hard to decipher what the culprit was. She also dives into her journey with genetic testing and the things she thinks about as she awaits her mother's results. Above all, Lauren beautifully illustrates her mother's profound love for her kids and grandkids -- and its clear to see THAT was the most important thing to Lesley. Thank you for listening!
