    in the NYTimes today - her husband has died after three years plus of FTD and at the end the motor neuron variant that Susan L's husband had. Moving and right on, from what I can see.

    It may sadden us, but I think it's important that it's out there as something NOT JUST MEMORY LOSS! which we all try to convince other people about.

    Wow, I don't think I was ready for that, but I'm glad I read it. So much of it was familiar, some not. I'm glad that FTD is finally getting some press, I would guess that 99% of people have never even heard the term.

    Susan you are so right. I had never heard of FTD until the neurologist uttered the words. Remember when FTD was just a flower company?
