Navigating a Diagnosis with Nancy Treaster

from Spotlight on Care: Alzheimer's Caregiving · host UCI MIND

When retired software executive Nancy Treaster noticed subtle shifts in her husband Kim’s language and behavior, doctors initially dismissed it as work-related anxiety. In this episode of Spotlight on Care, hosts Virginia Naeve and Steve O'Leary sit down with Nancy to discuss her persistent journey to get her husband an accurate diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and primary progressive aphasia. She shares candid insights on recognizing early red flags, advocating for a loved one when medical answers don't fit, and adapting to the unique emotional and daily challenges of caring for a spouse with FTD.Send us Fan Mail
