Breaking News LBD- Lewy Body Dementia Assoc

If you look hard enough, search relentlessly, connect far and wide, there are times when email brings great news.

Early morning begins my ritual going through emails searching for knowledge to share both in my travel business and through this blog, "Life Times Three Living With LBD".

Lewy Body Dementia is a Thief entering your life stealing parts of loved ones and friends memories and abilities. There is no going back, so far, to better times or stopping.

My direct involvement with my Mom ended when she passed although I'm convinced it could have been better for her and for our family if we'd known what we were all experiencing.

As usual I scroll through a list of hundreds of pieces of news, seminars, general updates and new opportunities, invitations for both life passions. 

Most are marked to "come back to later". 

Those that get my immediate attention included one from the Lewy Body Dementia Association. Almost jumping out of my seat I read the following:

Thursday, February 29, 2024

"During this webinar, Dr. Kathleen Poston, a leading figure in LBD research and care and co-lead of the LBDA Research Center of Excellence at Stanford University will discuss the recent advances in the development of biomarkers for alpha-synuclein, how they are changing research in Lewy body dementia, and how they may change clinical practice in the future. 

"Dr. Poston will also describe the two synuclein biomarkers that are currently available to physicians and provide a sneak peek into the potential for future biomarkers that may provide even more information to researchers and clinicians about the development and progression of Lewy bodies." See click through at end of this entry.

Please let me know in the comments section if you found this helpful and if you're considering or planning to attend. We are each helping one another by sharing, caring and coming alongside.

GREAT NEWS:  I'm working on a NEW BLOGSITE with more ability to add features, conversations and connectivity. 

YOUR VISITS over the last few months, from all around the world, encourage me to take the next step with this "journal" that is becoming a gateway to understanding.

Walking this path with a loved one you are not alone, it's a shared journey when we bring into the light what keeps us in darkness.

Each of us creates change. All of us make a difference.

ADVISORY:  This may be designed for the medical field so not sure if it will be for everyone.
