The Duck Dynasty patriarch's family revealed that he was also suffering from a blood disease on their podcast Unashamed with The Robertson Family.
Have YOU got a story? Email Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, his family has revealed.
According to Jase, the 78-year-old reality star has been in particularly poor health due to the blood disease, and his condition has been deteriorating recently. Phil was notably absent from Friday's podcast episode, and Jase clarified that his health was too poor for him to join in. Lest Jase's update make Phil's condition sound too gloomy, his brother and co-host Al Robertson added that their father still has 'good days' mixed in with the 'bad days.'
Al Robertson compared Phil's struggles to those of former President Ronald Reagan, who announced his Alzheimer's diagnosis in a 1994 letter to the American people; still from Duck Dynasty
