Subject: My father diagnosed with PPA. Anyone have experience with this ?
Dad is 76, active and healthy. But for awhile he has had trouble finishing sentences, like he can't find the word.

After many tests he has been diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia. WTH ?

After researching it for a few hours I see what it basically is and the prognosis is not good. Eventually people with this can become mute and not be able to recognize language/speech.

I would appreciate anyone sharing experiences they have had with this.

Thanks.
