Fiona Phillips lands place on groundbreaking Alzheimer's trial

Fiona Phillips has revealed she is taking part in a revolutionary new drug trial in the hope that it could treat her Alzheimer’s Disease.

Opening up about her diagnosis in an interview with The Mirror, where she works as a columnist, Fiona also told how she was taking part in a drug trial at University College Hospital in London - which aims to produce medication that could slow the progression of the disease or even reverse it. However, it is not known if Fiona is actually taking the trial drug - as half of those involved are just taking a placebo.

Speaking about when she got the heartbreaking diagnosis, Fiona told how she was “more angry than anything else” and it was something she thought she might get at the age of 80 - not 61.
