 Talks about coping with Alzheimer's disease in the family
Fiona Phillips has been a regular feature on GMTV for twelve years, but prompted by her father’s descent into Alzheimers, she has quit her job. She admits that the stress of caring for her parents, running a home and maintaining a high pressure career, drove her to a breakdown. She joins Jenni to talk about why women can’t have it all, and her fears that she may inherit the disease that has affected both her mother and her father.
