What happens when you know something is wrong, but no one believes you?In this heartfelt episode of Love Conquers Alz, Susie Singer Carter and Don Priess welcome Nancy Treaster, co-founder of  The Caregiver's Journey, to discuss her husband, Kim Treaster's battle with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and the long road to an accurate diagnosis. Nancy is a certified caregiving consultant and co-founder of The Caregiver’s Journey, Nancy shares the subtle behavioral changes that first raised concerns, the frustration of being told it was "just anxiety," and why caregivers must trust their instincts when something doesn't feel right. Together, they explore the differences between Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, the challenges of language loss (primary progressive aphasia), and the importance of advocating for a loved one when the medical system falls short.The conversation also dives into some of the most emotional aspects of caregiving:• Recognizing the early signs of FTD• Why spouses and family members often notice symptoms first• How to advocate for an accurate diagnosis• Protecting your loved one's dignity throughout the disease• Navigating aggression, incontinence, and difficult behaviors with compassion• What it means to become a "pragmatic caregiver" and find peace in the present moment• Why love can endure, even when memories fadeNancy's wisdom reminds us that while dementia changes relationships, it doesn't erase love.If you're caring for or walking beside someone living with FTD or any dementia diagnosis, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired.* The short film mentioned in the podcast:  Love At First Sight starring British actors Sir John Hurt and Phyllida Law Send us Fan MailIf someone you love experienced neglect in a nursing home…Then you know how desperately the system needs to change.  History has shown us that It takes people power to change anything worthwhile.
