Television presenter and journalist Fiona Philips has revealed how she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's
Television presenter and journalist Fiona Philips has revealed how she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The columnist was told she had the illness a year ago following months of brain fog and anxiety.
Fiona revealed deep down she had always feared this moment - when a doctor told her one afternoon last year: “Your results are back.. And yes, I’m afraid they do show early stages of Alzheimer's Disease."“I felt more angry than anything else because this disease has already impacted my life in so many ways; my poor mum was crippled with it, then my dad, my grandparents, my uncle. It just keeps coming back for us.
“No one has known because I haven’t been blaring out loud, ‘oh yeah, I’ve got Alzheimer's. And I have been so worried people will judge me or put labels on me.Top TV news The mum-of-two has now decided she will no longer live in fear of judgement and hopes by telling her story she can help end the stigma which remains around the disease,
“But I’m still here, getting out and about, meeting friends for coffee, going for dinner with Martin and walking every day.”“And I’d never had that in my life,’ Fiona adds. After her appointment with the menopause specialist, it was recommended that Fiona seek further help to explain why she was struggling with her memory.
Top showbiz news Fiona adds: “It was the shock.. Total shock. And then we said to each other.. ‘Shall we go and have a drink? So that’s what we did. In fact we’ve now become locals at the pub on the square by the hospital!”
