Hi Dr. Rynne,
My son's father is 58yo, and has been diagnosed with brain shrinkage. I am very concerned and want to help prepare my son for what's to come. Unfortunately, I have no idea what is to come because his family does not share that information with me. I wanted to know if cerebral atrophy is hereditary. Also, what is the life expectancy of a person with this illness?
