“Since we announced the diagnosis of aphasia to Bruce in the spring of 2022, his condition has progressed and now we have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD); Unfortunately, communication problems are just one of the symptoms of the disease he is dealing with. While it’s painful, finally getting a clear diagnosis is a relief.”
