Fiona Phillips was worried about being branded a "batty old woman" after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
The TV presenter was told she had the illness a year ago after suffering months of brain fog and anxiety. She's now undergoing trials for a revolutionary new drug which scientists hope could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers in the years to come.
She said the disease has "ravaged" her family, after losing both her parents to Alzheimer's. Since announcing to the world she had been diagnosed with the condition earlier this week, Fiona, 62, has spoken out to thank the public for being so kind to her, MirrorOnline reports.
