A woman has recounted the "terrifying" moment she knew something was seriously wrong with her husband, after he contacted her in a panic during a business trip.
Marion Hinde, from Ellesmere Port, has shared her personal experience of her husband Tom being diagnosed with young onset dementia as part of Dementia Action Week. She has joined forces with the Alzheimer's Society to help spread the word about the importance of early diagnosis with dementia.
Marion is encouraging others with any concerns to seek help and not to pass any memory issues off as being due to old age. She said that Tom, now 60, had not been able to board his train due to his then undiagnosed dementia back in 2017 and Marion was so worried that she set off on a six-hour trip to bring him home, before seeking a diagnosis and support, CheshireLive reports.
