Brum.

I am so sorry for your news. I am a caregiver to my husband who was diagnosed in August of 2013.
I am at a loss for words but you will find a lot of support on this site.

Brum, I'm sorry to hear that. The only advice I have is to take one day at a time and when you need support come here, take care.

Brum, keep the chin up. Today is a setback. You will rise from this. Your family will rally round you. Stay focused and try and remain as healthy as possible. You got this.

Brum,

Having the HD gene is not a death sentence. Many of us with it are living full and productive lives. Click on "Community" at the top of this forum to read stories about how people are thriving in spite of it.

It's never good news Brum and it's not the end either. Keep fighting. You have a lot to process, a lot of questions and hopefully you will get the benefit we have from this forum. We stand beside you.

Brum, I was recently diagnosed myself, so I know what your going through. Anytime you need someone to talk to, I or anyone of the strong souls on this site would be more than happy to lend a hand.
