À propos de cet audio

 'It's brought us closer since I was diagnosed' Tom's story is one of hope and finding the positives of a dementia diagnosis. Joined by his wife, Miriam, who has been with him all the way through his journey. The pair of them discuss how they find humour and positives whilst facing the disease. Attributing his dementia to a sense of humour, Tom is living proof that you can indeed live well with dementia.
