Missing Temporal Lobe
My mother has just been diagnosed with mild dementia. The doctor said that he believes it is the beginning of Alzheimers. At the age of 7 (70 years ago) she had a tumor removed. Because of the MRI which was just done, we now know that her whole temporal lobe on the left side is missing. Do you think this is playing a role in her forgetfulness? The doctor put her on Aricept. Any more we can do to help her?
