Does Mum any longer know who Andrew is?

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

This week Andrew considers one of the toughest questions for anyone whose loved one has dementia - do they remember who I am? Mum hasn't used Andrew's name for several weeks now. And, with a pile of untouched birthday cards in front of her, she also seems to be losing touch with who she is and who her friends and family are. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
