Fiona Phillips has said she’s “heartbroken” as she’s been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in her 60s.
The former GMTV presenter lost both of her parents to the disease, which Fiona says “ravaged” her family. Fiona has been living with the condition secretly for 18 months. She said she expected to have Alzheimer’s in her 80s, not now.
Fiona, 62, said she suffered months of brain fog and anxiety before her diagnosis. She’s now undergoing trials for a revolutionary new drug.
Scientists hope the new drug can slow down or even reverse the illness for many of those living with it.
