My mother has been diagnosed with the first two by different doctors. She has also been diagnosed with Cortical Basal Degeneration and Posterior Cortical Atrophy. Overall her disorder is mostly in movement, although she has slight memory issue and “alien hand syndrome.”

How can I tell if it’s “vascular dementia” or the other dementias I am seeing?

Is there such thing as a blood test to see if you will get things like Alzheimers or Cancer when you’re older?

Like genetic testing? In Ontario Canada? If yes where would I look for this and how much will it cost?
