In this special bonus episode, Beth shares a very personal update about her family’s experience with genetic testing for FTD.

After finally receiving a long-awaited appointment with a geneticist, Beth reflects on the difficult questions this raises - whether to test or not, the emotional toll of waiting and what it means to live with the uncertainty of a possible genetic link to dementia.

With raw honesty, she talks through the pros and cons of knowing, the impact on mental health and the challenges of navigating a healthcare system that often feels painfully slow. This episode aims to offers a window into the complex decisions many families face when dementia may run in the family.
