Susan Suchan Used Her Diagnosis to Shine Light on Dementia's Darkness

In 2006, Susan Suchan was told she had early onset Alzheimer's disease. Years later came a new diagnosis that carried a death sentence. The doctor said, “Put your affairs in order.” Oh, hell no, she thought. Suchan became a warrior and marched into a national spotlight to chronicle the cruelty of losing your life and your mind to a disease that still has no cure. A new film titled "Susan" documents her pain and her grit as she and her family stared into that abyss and dared to live.
