Dementia (Part 1) - Dancing With Dementia: Christine Bryden's Story
25/06/2005
Christine Bryden was a high flying 46 year old, single mother with 3 daughters, when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Told she'd be pushing up the daisies by 2004 - 10 years on, with two books and a devoted husband, she's still here. Hers is a journey into a black hole of life unremembered, of learning to live peacefully in the present, and of stripping away the cognitive self. The first of two programs on dementia, this week a powerful and personal insight, next week - extraordinary developments in cell therapy from the scientific coal face.
