Jennifer Aniston fears mom has Alzheimer’s
OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Aniston is worried her mom is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. The actress is said to be heartbroken that 76-year-old Nancy Dow, who fractured her shoulder after a tumble on Election Day, is becoming increasingly confused and unsure of her surroundings and may be experiencing dementia.
“It’s heartbreaking. Her mom’s deterioration has been shocking, and Jen just wants to see her well again,” a source said.
“Jennifer can’t bear to think of her mother having such a terrible, incurable disease.
“The doctors are doing more tests and there’s also a very real concern she may be in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
“She slips into periods of confusion, at times doesn’t recognize people and her short-term memory appears to be damaged. It’s sad. It’s tough for the whole family.”
