I lost my mother 11th of October 2013 to a monster disease with a super rapid course. Our small family was yet again struck by something strange and very rare. It took my mother 10 weeks to die.
The killer is in the top 10 most fatal diseased in the world. If you contract it you have no chance to survive. Luckily she never knew what struck her as it took the doctors 3 weeks to give her the diagnose and then it was too late to be able to tell her as she then was hallucinating. Her brain was a sponge and the mother we knew were gone. One person in a million contracts this disease. So about 8 people per year in Sweden. I cannot tell you how heartbreaking the whole ordeal was but I do not wish anyone else to go through what I did. Never in my life I thought I would have to answer the question if we would donate my mother´s brain to science when she was still alive. Looking at her so sick sleeping in her bed and I had already promised to give her brain away to science. The disease is called CJD or Jakob Creutzfeldt disease. I have below a few links about CJD. I absolutely hate CJD!
