Good question. I've actually asked him in the past if he had any neurological examinations like memory tests and cognitive tests and I'm quite sure he has never had any. A few years ago though they did an MRI on him to exclude stroke, and it came out he did not have a stroke. Part from that, his GP manages his whole treatment part from some involvement from a cardiologist.

I don't at all trust the GP. It's a gut feeling that build up over the years. I've many times asked my friend to get a second opinion but he feels safe with this doc. I have the feeling the doc just prescribes and never brings up difficult things. My friend is not on any meds for Alzheimer's, I keep track.

Unfortunately I don't at all stay in touch with his family. I wish I could have a chat with them but it seems none of them wants that. I think the family totally underestimates what I mean to my friend and what he means to me.

I don't think he has been told a new diagnosis, because every time he got a new one he has been able to tell me.

Right now I'm so confused, don't know what to think.
