Dear Barbara Yacos: Thanks for you reflection on the worries of our kids. I have three daughters, 32,31,27, all of whom have raised the question somewhat tentatively. I have talked with them initially, but not in any depth. I have given them each a copy of the living with parkinson book. Your thoughts on this are helpful to me. I will initiate some further discussion. This is salient for my mother was thought to have had Alzheimer's Disease, and when we read the book, we all (including my sister and uncle) realized that she had undiagnosed PD. So we have at least a 2 generation example in our family. I'd like to hear more about this, from you and others. Thanks. Bob Newbrough ([log in to unmask])
