Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's

Andrew Kwa

He could still have some time to go yet!

My father has worked in metal health nearly all his working life here in the UK. He also run's the local Alzheimer's Disease Society so through him I've met quite a number of patients and careers. Treatments have improved greatly and with luck, TP will be around for a few years yet entertaining us all. It's a progressive illness that can be slowed down.

But to be honest it's the family and those who care for patients that need the most help. Watching it in someone in the advanced stages is the most distressing time and caring for them is a full time and difficult occupation.

But to keep this positive, keep up the good work Terry and we all look forward to finding out what your have in store for us next. Good Luck to both you and your family.
