Fiona Phillips reveals dementia heartbreak

Fiona Phillips, whose parents both had dementia, said if her mother had been diagnosed earlier then she could have handled the situation better.

I would have been able to plan more for mum instead of doing everything in a big rush.

Our house always smelt of baking when we were little and I used to love helping mum make cakes and there were always cakes in the tin.

She rung me up at 3am one morning crying her eyes out and she said: 'I've forgotten how to make cakes'. And my childhood went then.
