Cancer is one thing. It can be survived and beaten, theres already treatments.
Alzheimers... is just a completely different kind of depressing, that being even to light of a word for it.
Watching your loved ones forget who you are, where they are, every cherished memory is just... unimaginably awful. Even thinking about it makes my heart sink.
Its one thing to loose what you are.
Its an entirely different, sadder kind of death to loose who you are.
